.Net IDE problem

[abhid]

Hi all,
I have a problem with my .Net IDE. Whenerver I press enter in code window or cut-paste something, the IDE hangs for few seconds.
I am dealing with almost 4000 LOC in most of my classes and it is taking forever to make even a small change like correcting a property name.
My machine is P4 1.8G with 512 Mb RAM. I dont see any problem with my machine configuration or .Net Installation.
Has anybody experienced same thing? Please help.

Thanks in advance,
abhid

hmm dunno if it's because that but u should make classes with lesser lines of code, try each class in a different file with about 500-1000 lines of code

Are you talking about working with the form and the controls directly, or are you talking about working with the code itself?

If you have a lot of controls on a form, it takes a while for the IDE to render it completely. I think this is something they have to optimize in the next release. Anyway, I have no problems when dealing with the code itself though. I am running a 450 P2 with 196 MB of ram.

Can Apps. memory-resident do this lateness?I'm not sure but I bet it affect the performance.

Thanks all for anwering.
I am not working on windows forms. It is a class library and I experience same thing for classes with 1500-2000 LOC. I am wondering if this amount of small code can cause IDE to freeze for 5-6 sec.
Unfortunately I cant reduce LOC since I must write it according to spces I have received.
Does anybody have any information or links regarding .Net IDE and compiler details?

Please let me know
Thanks in advance,

I just put 1300 lines of code in one class. Opening, closing the class in the code window wasn't even close to a problem.

Now, that same class when opened in the win forms designer, that took a while.

Do you use the #region and #endregion tags to collapse your code? This may help...

I've just remember that I face such this problem and ends with format .No way to trace where this little bug exists.

A couple of suggestions:

1) If you have dynamic help turned on, turn it off.
2) Kill the aspnet_wp process. It has a tendency to grow to large sizes and slow things up. It will restart itself.

thanks for all the tips,
I think I found out the reason. As the number of class files (.vb) in the solution increase the IDE tends to get slower and slower.

I tried by reducing the class files and then it was running quiet satisfactorily.

Thanks all,
