Question

I am using VS 2010 express for C#.

I am making a random chinese name generator.

I have nearly 200 thousands first name to be drawn.

When I add a really long code with these first names like

string[] firstname = new string[] {"A","B",...}

VS was in heavy load when I opened the project or attempted to click on the line. Actually, after adding the line, I cant even open the project.

I guess it is due to the auto-debugging function as it is not so laggy when I try to edit in notepad++.

Any recommendation on handling the problem of drawing a large set of elements?
Or how can I stop the auto-debugging function?

Answer 1

string[] firstname = 
    System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("list-of-names-one-per-line.txt");

You should really consider reading from some kind of storage. This will also allow you to change the word list without recompiling your program.

If you must, Tools->Options->Text Editor->C#->Advanced uncheck Show live semantic errors
