Code Editor keeps pausing

Chaps,

I am having some issues since installing the last beta update, namely the code editor keeps pausing for some time between keypresses. Now, I thought at first this was the intellisense problem, but when I opened up Procmon I keep seeing the details shown in the attachment.

Now, for some reason that last drop I had a lot of problems getting the DevExpress inherited portions to work correctly, so I am more than happy to hold up my hands and say it's likely something I have done (or not) as the case may be.

Thanks for any light you may be able to throw my way.

regards

Geoff Hirst

It isn't the old "blue cog of death" issue, is it?  There is a common problem with larger projects where your toolbox will cause everything to hang while it refreshes. If that is what is happening your mouse will turn into a blue cog while the editor window is frozen.

To get around it you can disable the auto-refresh of the toolbox by going to Tools->Options->Windows Form Designer and setting the "AutoToolboxPopulate" option to False.  You'll need to set it to true before building to include any new BOs.

Hi Dustin,

Thanks for the response. I am not seeing any blue cog. My issue is actually occuring in the code editor. Where I am creating some custom properties and looking to add together some field values, when I type [me.] the code editor seems to just 'go down the pub' and if you watch procmon while this is happening the results are what I have shown in the attachment.

thanks

Geoff

Well, the path not found should be a good starting point.  Try the following:

  1. Remove the SF assemblies from the GAC
  2. Then either rebuild the SF source code (if that is how you work) or drag the SF assemblies back into the GAC from the c:\program files\common files\microfour\strataframe folder

That is really all of the advice that I have as I have not seen this before, but the path not found is probably a good clue.  Also, those XML files are the Intellisense files for SF, so make sure they exist in the same folder as mentioned above.  I have verified the install and it is all correct, but if they are not there, then they had to have been removed at some point (this could happen if you are building SF source code and the build fails, etc.).
