Visual Studio 2003 hangs up at start if I closed with a design viewactive

[Jacobo Rodriguez Villar]

Hello,

I have two problems with design view in VStudio 2003:
First, if I close a solution with a form in design view, next time that
I want start the vstudio, it hangs up before loading the project.
I must remove the .vcproj file from the solution directory, start the
vstudio, click ok on the error mesage about cant find .vcproj file,
restore the .vcproj to it's original folder and reload the project into
the ide

Second switching to design view usually takes LOOOOOOONG time, some
forms about 30 minutes....
I'm not using any 3rd party component, and my machine is an AMD Athlon
XP 2600+ with 512Mb of ram

There are any solution for these problems?

Thank you very much.

This behavior is by Design.

Hello VILLAR,

Your second problem is a known bug by Microsoft. It was discussed under
KB832138. But this article is removed from Microsoft Support KB web page.
There is a hotfix program for this problem. It will be better, if you contact
with Microsoft Support to request the Hotfix Setup File for KB832138. There
are English and German versions for MS VS .NET 2003. The file is around
1.58MB .

The Service Package for MS VS .NET 2003 is said as will be published in
February 2005 by Microsoft.

Have nice days and works.

I can see that you mentioned elsewhere that your form takes some 30
minutes to bring up. When you close a project with the form open in
design view, next time you open it we will try to get the form open in
design view just like you closed it. Since this takes 30 minutes in your
case, project load will take 30 minutes

The fix for the unnecessarily long time to load design view of a form is
available as a hotfix from Microsoft as described by another response to
this thread.

Thanks,
