Visual Web Developer 2010 (Express) painfully slow, help!


Question

Greetings,

Lately, I've been having huge troubles using Visual Web Developer express 2010 and my intranet application. The problem is that after some minutes working with a asp.net page it becomes very slow when editing/moving/creating controls in design view, the application freezes for 2-10 seconds until I can get control again, and after two changes to the page the same freezing.

It mostly happens with big pages, for example, the page I'm working right now has around 1500 lines in the .ASPX page and another 1500 lines in the ASPX.VB page (around 60 controls). If I work using the code view it works pretty well, especially when editing the ASPX.VB page, but when I work with the .ASPX page it works also okay in code view but in design view freezes all the time for a long time, and eventually, the code view gets a bit slow, and the more time I spend working on the same page, more slow it gets and RAM consumption goes higher and higher. For example, when I start working in this page, it comsumes around 200MB, after 15min it gets to 500MB and beyond... And of course, it gets slower and slower, only working with a page! I don't have 20 pages opened or nothing like that.

This is happening to me in three different machines, the main machine, which is the best one on specs, is an Intel i7 3GHZ, 6GB of RAM, a SSD hard drive as main drive, and two 7200rpm drives as secondary drives...

When the application freezes it doesn't take more than 15% of the CPU and it has PLENTY of RAM free to work.

So, I'm wondering is someone knows a way to speed up VWD2010.

Note: I'm using Windows 7 64bits with all the available updates installed, and I've already tried disabling IntelliSense on VWD and nothing, SP1 is installed, I guess the problem has something to do with the monitoring of the large amount of controls.

Example of the page (it has like 10-15 more dropdownbox controls down on the page that can't be seen on the screenshot)

    • The dev is a snowflake for deciding that a project he’s not getting paid to do isn’t worth the attacks? Interesting.
    • Microsoft explains how organizations can use Intune to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 by Usama Jawad The timer for Windows 10's end of life is counting down and while organizations can pay for Extended Security Updates (ESU), it might not be financially feasible for them to do so. In cases like these, it is in both the enterprise customer and Microsoft's benefit to upgrade to Windows 11 as seamlessly as possible. To that end, the Redmond tech giant has published a detailed guide explaining how companies can upgrade to Windows 11 through Intune. Microsoft has emphasized that this guide is primarily intended for domain-joined or co-joined Windows 10 PCs in order to perform a cloud-native migration to a state where the device is running on Windows 11 and is Entra-joined with Intune. To get started, customers obviously need to confirm that their hardware meets the requirements for Windows 11, which includes the dreaded TPM 2.0. This can be confirmed through Microsoft Configuration Manager or Endpoint Analytics in Intune. In addition, tools like Windows Autopatch, Configuration Manager, and Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) should be employed to update Windows 10 devices to the latest supported version, which is version 22H2. IT admins should also synchronize identities from Active Directory (AD) to Entra ID, configure and validate a hybrid join, prepare the Intune environment with the required licenses and admin roles, and enable co-management in Intune and Configuration Manager. Next, Group Policy Objects (GPOs) should be rationalized, redundant policies should be replaced, Intune configuration profiles should be set up, and Intune policies should be configured to deploy the update in phases. Then, Windows Autopatch should be leveraged to deliver the update and monitor the rollout. Applications should also be migrated from Configuration Manager to Intune for packaging, testing, deploying, and assigning them to the correct device groups. IT admins should also be vigilant in decommissioning the old deployments in Configuration Manager and updating the relevant documentation. The final step of this process involves transitioning from a domain network-joined setup to Entra ID-joined. This is a multi-step process, so make sure to check out the details here. Microsoft believes that this cloud-native migration approach will ensure centralized and streamlined management, enhanced security, an optimized UX, reduced reliance on legacy infrastructure, and allow IT admins to leverage Copilot in Intune.
    • ^ this (though I use Firefox). So tired of this "AI" being shoved into every damn thing. Copilot/Gemini....sick of it all. I am fully convinced it's just a way to mine and sell your data... unfettered ... under the guise of AI. I hate conspiracy theories...but there it is.
    • This is really the snowflake generation, isn’t it yes, whatever you do publicly, there will always be haters. Sad but true. Yes, I’ve lead such a project too.
    • I ran into this before. Clearing the cache and restarting my computer fixed it.
