Visual Studio 2005 Toolbox
So far just about everything I've encountered in Visual
Studio 2005 has been fantastic. Some of the most subtle
changes to the IDE have made my life dramatically easier.
The one exception to this is the new Toolbox. Aside from a
very cluttered Tree View, it dynamically loads up all this
stuff from my projects. I'm sure some people love it but
with a very large project it takes 2-5 minutes to display
the toolbar.
This wouldn't be so bad if I could just turn it off, but
so far I can't seem to find any way to do so. UPDATE:
Thanks to
Raj I was able to turn off the auto-population feature. Simply
set AutoToolboxPopulate to False under Windows Forms
Designer section of the Visual Studio Options dialog.
I must have looked though the Options dialog a thousand
times and never noticed this. Maybe that sleep thing
would be a good idea after all. :)
