RE: Form designer running extremely slow!!!

Ok I figured out the cause of this problem.

I had started working through the tutuorials, installed the StrataFrame sample database on my localhost MS SQL.

At some point my SQL service was stopped which causes this problem. Once I restarted SQL service, no further problems. I am surprised that just doing GUI development requires a good DB connection.

Thanks for great input!!!

Form designer running extremely slow!!!

I just started working with StrataFrame, but everytime I design a form it takes 15-20 seconds to drop or move a StrataFrame element. Usually the mouse cursor will turn to the hourglass (but it never spins) or just keeps the same icon as when creating or moving the element and the whole IDE just hangs. I can look at Task Manager and the system is idle, I just have to wait. I only have this problem with the StrataFrame Designer elements, if I use the regular Windows stuff I don't have this problem.

Any suggestions???

Jason,

Your specs seem to be fine. I have never heard of this before so I am going to have to get some more information before I can try to diagnose anything. First, when you open a StrataFrame solution, one of the samples that comes with the framework, for example, do those solutions have the same problem?

Do you have a StrataFrame menu within the Visual Studio designer? Do you have real-time virus scanning software turned on? Have you verified that your database connection to the SQL Server where the StrataFrame database is located is correct (click the StrataFrame->Database Connection... menu within VS)? How many processes do you have running in memory?

Let's start with this information and we can go from there.
