How to boost up XAML designer in visual studio 2010?

Question

When i use XAML designer it is so hard and slow to move into the designer and out of it, visual studio stuck for a while when i do that, is there any way to boost up XAML designer and editor?

Ant it is very slow when saving XAML files!

Answer 1

That usually means that you might have complex UI, maybe time to break it down into smaller components?

I usually turn off showing XAML View by default: Tools > Options > TextEditor > XAML > Misc

• Check Always open documents in XAML view
• and uncheck Automatically populate toolbox items.

I think the problem in VS2010 when you save the XAML file there a is partial class same name with XAML class generating.

We can see this class easily by clickin InitializeComponents() as you know. But Expression Blend doesn't generate these Class.g.s... files immediately .

I hope In Visual Studio's later versions these will be fixed.

It's similar in Android Development Platform Eclipse there is a "R.class" holds all visual element ids. When you save any xml layout file this class get an update.

These new development approaches has some bad effects for developers I think. There must be option such as Ctrl+G+Save ? save and generate :)

If you change any XAML and not save when you click another XAML or CS (unfocus anyway) this slowly behavior still exist.

Beside this if you just save UI without generating , dev.environment can't notify you about existing errors and warnings.

Finally It steals too much time from developers. ,

Need to be solved.

I was preparing to ask this question I see it here.Thanks for asking.
