I’ve gotten thrown into a WebForms ASP.NET 3.5 project on VS2008. The solution has 5 projects, so not too large. One thing that really annoys me is how long it takes go to from F5 to an actual web page that I can do something about (good 15-20 seconds). The box I am on is relatively recent – everything else on it feels really snappy.
What are some of the things I can do to speed up this process?
If you don’t need to debug, don’t do it. What I do is start the project without debugging (ctrl + F5). you’ve now got a window attached to VS. All you need to do now is rebuild your code when you make code changes, which is much quicker.
