VS 2005 : "Updating. xxx file(s) to process" message when opening large solutions?

[Robert Hooker]

Hi All,

After moving to VS2005, we've noticed that opening an existing (large)
solution and being able to type code takes a lot longer than in VS2003.
Typically, the IDE will open, and all the windows will appear, but then the
hour glass will flick on and off for about 1 minute.
If the "Pending Checkins" window is open, I can see a message that says
"Updating. xxx file(s) to process" with the 'xxx' portion slowly counting
down from 800 odd files (in our case).

Has anyone else noticed this?
Is this something to with our configruation (VS2005 + Surround SCM for
Source Control) ?

Any insight is greatly appreciated!
Rob

Hi Kevin,

The last post in this thread:

From author "Gerry Hickman" indicates that:
- He sees the same problem with VSS6
- It was widely reported back when VS2005 was first released.

Also, are you using the same source control in VS2003?

Yes - we use the same source control (and same version of it) is VS2003 -
with no problems.

Thanks
Rob
