Author IDE VS.NET + SOURCE SAFE = VERY SLOW + MEMORY CRASH

hello,

I work on a solution in VB.net (15 projects; ~200 files; ~200Mb) with
SourceSafe (we are 3 developpers).

clients: P4, 2.52 GHz, 512 MB of RAM, Windows XP 2002 (SP1), VS 2003
server (source safe): P4, 2.52 GHz, 1 GB of RAM

I become crazy because of the slowness of the loading of the project,
because the IDE sometimes crashes without any reason (memory crash?)
I have removed Norton Antivirus to increase the network performance.

Any suggestions??
Thanks

Benoit

You need to post this question in a .Net newsgroup (will have dotnet in the
title).

But you won't like the answers. The VS.NET IDE is very slow compared to
previous VS versions. There are various workarounds available which will
likely cause you to give up some cherished habits. <g>

Try a .Net group (these usually have 'dotnet' in their
names)

This group if for VB6 or earlier, it's unlikely there will
be anyone here who can help.

15 projects - not all loaded into the same solution at once, surely?
That's just asking for it to crash...
Test them individually, then when you're sure they work, reference the
compiled assemblies. The MSDN way to do this is to add the actual DLL files
to the project, the action of doing this will copy them into the project's
directory. Then you add the reference from the current directory. The DLL
file itself will then be checked into sourcesafe, so another developer
checking out the project will not get a dependency error.
See

There's no point having buckets of RAM in the sourcesafe server (just for
that, anyway). The only performance characteristics it will need are hard
disk space, hard disk speed, and network speed.
