Editor issues

I am developing in Visual Studio 2003 using C++ .NET.

Whenever I switch to the dialog view of a form, there is a pause of 5 - 15
seconds. Whenever I run the application there is a 10-15 second pause after
the application finishes compiling but before it shows in the screen. Also
the editor seems a bit flakey in that the function prototypes inserted into
the class are not justified/aligned with other code. Tab positions in these
functions aren't aligned with the rest of the code either. This leaves some
untidying lookup source code making it more difficult to find what you are
looking for.

Are there any fixes for these? I have the latest service packs.

Hi,

What is your hardware config?

VS.Net 2003 requires minimum of 512 MB of RAM and smooth operation.

Select the code that looks untidy and press Ctrl+K Ctrl+F. This will format
the selected code. VC++ does not by default format all the text. Unlike, the
C# window, where you paste a code from some other source file, the target
file will be formated on the fly. In C++ window, you will have to do it
manually.
Are there any fixes for these? I have the latest service packs.


There are no service packs as of yet, but there is news that Microsoft is
working on it and the release dates are not yet know. Microsoft might
release the next version VS.Net 2005 code named "whidbey" before that.

That is a pretty good config. Are you developing on managed C++ by any
chance? If it is managed C++ then the first time the application is run, it
takes time but the consecutive runs by the same exe should be faster.

If it is not managed C++ then I dont see a reason why it should freeze.

Yes it's managed but there is this delay everytime I run it. Whilest running
the app somethings are slow to run but speed up subsequent times.

I was thinking maybe it's something to do with loading the .NET runtime,
maybe there is some configuring to be done but I can't find any settings for
it.

Do you experience the slow startup when you run the app from the
command-line as well? In the IDE do you get the same slow down
whether you're running it under the debugger or out of the debugger?
