John, >>>inline Michael, It's not so much the using / references as having a copy of all of the properties in each project. I originally developed the code directly on the server. I used remote desktop to log in, it was just me, everything is "fine". Then I hired a fine fella to help me, and started trying to get organized. Set up a workstation for him, started getting the whole thing running from the workstation. Now the code running from either workstation takes about 10 times as long to compile ( a couple of seconds directly on the server... that long for EACH PROJECT on either workstation. You can actually watch it compile project by project. That isn't huge, it just takes 15 or 20 seconds to do a compile now instead of 2 or 3. >>> You can set the build properties of each project in the solution. Right click on Solution --> Configuration manager --> untick the projects that don't require building each time you run the solution. However... Debug takes about a second or two PER STEP on the workstations. No se por que. However when I Google that I get a TON of hits. With a TON of DIFFERENT "go into the project / properties / somespecifictab and look for...". Well guess what, I now have a half dozen projects to do this with. That SUCKS! I haven't found the fix, but I have spent a TON of time going in time after time, project after project searching through the properties stuff to see if I have the specific fix that worked for developer XYZ. >>> I can't say I've had to do more than run with the defaults. It is waaaay more than just a reference and a using... >>> It seems you are developing on code shared from the server? Is that right? I can't help with that other to advise setting up Subversion and developing locally. Am I missing the point? I can see how projects would be cool if they are going to be pieces of many different solutions, however mine aren't, they are just an organizational tool for my single solution. And yes, they make organization neat however there is a rather large price IMHO. >>> Yes but, disabling build on the projects that are stable will speed build up a lot. >>> Working on local working copies of the code will speed up debugging, I'm pretty sure.
