Simple things like dropping a SF button control onto a SF Maintenance form is freezing the IDE. It will freeze for about 30 seconds and then come back. If I change the Text property for the button and then click off/hit enter to view the new text - again the IDE will freeze. Attempt to move the button and the IDE freezes for about 30 to 45 seconds and then completes the move. This is true for all control types.



I started up a regular WinForms project to try and narrow down if its VS or SF and did not experience any freezes with the standard Winforms project. I shut down and restarted and that did not help either. Any ideas on what's going on, thanks!

I'd check to make sure you have a connection to the StrataFrame database. If not, then this happens. Look under the Strataframe|Database Connection menu item in VS.

That would be the most logical explanation. Like Greg said, make sure that you have your VS environment pointing to the StrataFrame database. I am willing to bet that your connection is pointing to the wrong place or the server in which you are pointing the connection doesn't have the StrataFrame database installed.

That was it, works great now - thanks guys!

Great!
