Changes to web projects - all good, actually
A few days ago, I posted about the changes to web projects, and how they resolved several issues, but introduced a slow down. With some debugging help from the folks at Microsoft, it turns out that the problem was "dueling" dependencies, where one external references was looking at one version of a dll, and another was looking at the newest version, which was causing it to re-build the dependency graph everytime. So the only real issue in the IDE was the fact that there was no output from the dll refresh, letting me know what was going on.
Now, the entire project builds in under 3 seconds as long as those dependencies don't change. Way to go, Microsoft!!!
So if your web project build seems slow, and hangs up, check your external references to make sure there are no dueling dependencies in there.
