My thoughts on it so far (from my vast 20 minutes of using it): - The file and option menus are annoyingly slow. I clicked on 'project' to add a source file to my massive hello world program, and it took no less than 3 seconds for the menu to pop up. And it wasnt just the first time either. Its every time, and for every menu. Does anyone else experience this? - It took about 15 seconds to compile my hello world program. I shudder to think how long it will take for a 'real' program. Im used to using VS6.0, and I didnt have any problems with menus, and a hello world program compiles in well under a second. Ill continue to use VS.NET though, because everyone assures me that its better, and also because I paid a shite load of moola for it. EDIT: Actually, can someone help me with the transition from 6 to .net? Here's what I used to do in 6 to make a console application: File->new->Project->win32 console application->empty project And heres what I did in VS.net: File->new->project->win32 project->console application->empty project. Are these two things equivalent? I want to be doing the same type of thing as i was in vs6. However, when I do this in .NET, my little hello world program is about 500kb, and it wasnt that big in vs6. What am I doing wrong? [edited by - AndreTheGiant on November 24, 2003 9:37:58 PM]

hehe... that''s rather bad. I''ve never had those sorts of delays when running VS .NET. What kind of computer do you have.... and what programs are you running at the same time?

Are you using a CPU and RAM-starved machine?

I have VS.net and it ran fine even on my old 1.2ghz w/ 640MB DDR machine (I have a 2400+ now, same ram, and I run win XP pro now instead of 2k and it still runs fine)

I gots a P4 2.4 Gig with 512 DDR, winXP.., and an optical mouse

I wasnt running anything else really, a couple of explorer windows, an ftp client, and my virus detector dealie.

I take it by everyone''s responses that this isnt normal?

yes, it''s not normal. Check task manager... perhaps some background process is eating up CPU. Also, there are some options you can set to turn down the animations and suchlike.

The size of the exe in debug mode will be larger than in VS6 because VS.NET has more debugging information. It should be the same or smaller in Release mode.

I have noticed the same type of problems on my computer, but they are justifiable...(celeron 1.1==YUCK).
