Is it possible to disable the toolbox and form designer in VS2008 for web applications? I never use the thing and everytime I try to open a markup file (be it aspx, asmx, or most anything with markup content), the IDE spends upwards of a minute initializing the toolbox.
Since I never use the designer, is there any way to turn this off and save myself some time?
Right-click on a file and select “Open With…”
Select Editor of your choice then click “Set as Default”.
This will allow you to just double click it forever with no UI Designer unless you want to.
If it’s still a problem you can always reduce how much memory your toolbox/UI designer uses by removing custom control generation in your toolbox window. To do this go to:
Now this will not populate your toolbox with custom controls anymore from your solution, which is probably the problem with your loading.
