Slow Editor fix for Visual Studio 2008

Filed under: Downloads — Tanzim Saqib @ 2:16 pm

Today I found fix for Visual Studio 2008 which resolves the following:

  • JavaScript editor takes a lot of time to highlight syntax
  • Slow editor both the code window as well as HTML/Javascript editor
  • Often no response while select controls on the WebForms
  • Poor performance while opening/switching to HTML view
  • etc.

It was the only thing that I hated in Visual Studio 2008. Nevertheless, the hotfix is here. Download from https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?DownloadID=10826
