Some of the impovments with that service pack are:
1. Refactoring performance in ASP.NET WebSites projects like:
Before determining if an .aspx page should be loaded, the refactoring operation will:
| • |
Perform a lexical search on the element that is being refactored to determine if it exists in an .aspx page. |
| • |
Determine if a reference is accessible from the current scope. |
2. Web Site Projects and Web Application Projects general issues:
The Web Applications project system does not detect missing web.config files. Adding a control that requires configuration information will cause a false folder to appear in Solution Explorer. The workaround is to add a web.config file manually before you add any controls to a Web Application project.
Web Application projects that contain subprojects that reference controls in the root project may hang the IDE.
If a Web site solution that contains .pdb and .xml files is added to TFS source control, the .pdb files and .xml files may not be added correctly.
Visual Studio will leak memory when you operate a Wizard inside a View inside a Multiview. The workaround is to save the solution and then restart Visual Studio.
Changes to the bin folder in Web site and Web Application projects can cause Visual Studio to create a shadow copy of the entire bin folder. This copying can slow the performance of Visual Studio and consume disk space.
If your page and user controls exist in different namespaces that are under the same root namespace, the generated code will not compile because the namespace that the designer creates for the declaration of the user control inside the page is wrong. The workaround is to delete the declaration from the designer file and then put it in the code-behind file. Once it is moved to the code-behind file, it will remain there unaltered even if you change the page.
