If this isn’t the right place, please move as necessary.
This is REALLY affecting my production. I can’t pinpoint when it started, but recently VS2008 has been freezing on me quite often. The freeze happens for 1-10 minutes. This seems to usually happen when I click into the source editor. The projects I am working on are ASP.NET MVC 2 projects with JavaScript and C# code.
I do have Office 2007 installed and I ran the repair that I found was suggested somewhere on the web component, but that didn’t fix it.
My version for VS is 9.0.30729.1 SP.
On the plus side I get more web browsing in, but really hurts my groove when I am trying to get something done.
Update: I completely uninstalled then reinstalled VS 2008. The problem still exists. The problem most commonly happens when I am in the HTML editor. This app uses the AJAX toolkit, others use JavaScript/jQuery.
Update 2: /safemode doesn’t fix it. I still say it has to be the JavaScript intellesense. How do you disable only the JavaScript portion of intellesense.
Update 3: I didn’t have SP1 installed. I have installed that and will see what happens from there.
Update 4: SP1 didn’t fix it. I am still working through the given answers thus far and seeing if anything fixes it. I’ll keep this updated with any changes.
Update 5: I can’t remember if I mentioned that everything else on my PC works fine while VS is locked up and Task Manager isn’t showing anything that is pegged.
Update 6: I have been working all day in a WinForm project and had no freezes. So it is something with only web projects.
Update 7: Another developer started to work with ASP.NET MVC 2 and started having the same freezing problems. We think it might have to do with the MVC framework stuff. Anyone have this problem?
Not a solution, but migrating the project(s) to Visual Studio 2010 fixes the problems.
