Slowness when right-clicking a project

Nihimon · Post by **Nihimon** » Mon Sep 24, 2007 9:06 am

In the Solution Explorer, when I right-click on a Project that contains a lot of .sql files, there is something like a 10-second delay before the context menu displays. This delay is not present when I simply select the project.

Is Vault doing some kind of sweep on everything in the project whenever I right-click it? This is causing a problem. We use this project to store all of our .sql files for database stored procedures etc. Having this kind of delay every time I try to right-click on one of the upper-level folders to add a new item is a serious slow down.

Are you performing this right-click in Visual Studio? If so, which version of VS?

I don't currently have an reports of a slow down on just certain types of files, so we'll have to do a little more digging to see if this is due to the file type or something else.

Can you open a Vault GUI and go to Help - Technical Support and post the complete environment information from there?

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 8.0.50727.762 (SP.050727-7600)

I believe the slow-down is not due to a specific file type, but rather the sheer number of files in the project. There are over 500 files in over 100 folders.

One thing that may help is install the latest .NET service packs on your server. I've run into a few strange things happening due to both mis-matching .NET versions and not having the latest service packs on though.

Another thing you can try would be to review our Recommendations for optimal Vault performance. The recommendations there usually help a lot. Once you've tried those out, let me know if it's still slow.

we have the same problem.

It happens when a web site project contains a lot of files.

VS2003 client does not have this problem.

felinesoft: When comparing VSIP to MCSCCI, I think MCSCCI might be faster on websites. The solution there would be to use the MCSCCI interface instead. We do have this logged as a bug and developers are working on it, but I don't know when it will be fixed. If you check the release notes before downloading a version, you'll be able to see what fixes were in that release, or just check back with me later for an update. You can always email at support at sourcegear.com to check up on this.
