It's not the emulator that's the problem, it's opening the solution itself. It's also resharper that's going insane if turned on when opening the solution; it appears to work normally if I open the solution with it disabled and then turn it back on again. (Have you tried turning it off and back on?  )
Xamarin forms is on my employer's hate list, but is what the people who started the app used, we don't have money for a rewrite (go figure there). Xamarin with a shared backend and the native UI xamarin.ios and xamarin.android libraries is what my coworkers swear by for doing apps. I've not used either for real yet though.

Wait, a new version of VS is slower than the last... like it's been with every release for the past 20 years? Say it isn't so.

Eventually, MS will have to create a new OS just for VS devs.

For normal solutions its impact's much smaller than its benefits; something just went horribly wrong with it and xamarin (just this solution?????).

I use Resharper as well for most of my work. Every now an then a wacky project doesn't work well with it. In those cases, I just suspend it through the tools-->options--resharper.
...in case you didn't know already.

I do. And I can turn it back on after opening the solution. The problem is that if I forget to turn it off before starting I need to end task VS since I can't do anything else while its frozen in mid load.

Okay, so I was looking for the Screen Saver so I could turn it off so my VM wouldn't lock and I wouldn't have to type the password every time (ala lazy).
Right-click desktop and you'll see a choice appear in the context menu that is : [Personalize]
If you click that you'll see:
Win10 Personalize option[^]
However, there is no screen saver choice there. Hmm...I thought this was on the personalize option.
Oh, wait go to [Control Panel].
Choose [Personalization] option/icon there.
Now, you'll see the following view:
Personalization option[^]
A completely different yet similar thing.
That is some bad Human Factors Engineering (or UX), right there.

Great point. I didn't even notice that. More UX problems really. Two different names mean same thing.
Maybe trying to teach users that screen saver is same as Lock Screen option, but it's not working so well.

The term "screensaver" tends to have gone out of fashion since that is not what these features are about. We probably have a generation of users and developers now for whom it would have no meaning.

More things to click on. You gotta love it.

Dear Colleagues,
I've got a question for you: Is it really allowed to develop and use various online applications run on the client PC that perform real-time scheduled downloads of the content from http://www.codeproject.com/ web site with an http-client. For example, an application that uses timer to launch the process of the CodeProject's main page contents downloading every 60 seconds. This is basically similar to using a so-called CodeProject's API tools to build an application that perform the data analysis obtained from the CP's web-site.
Particularly, I'd like to find out if the following will actually mean that by using such application I'm purposely flooding the CP's web site, creating burden traffic to the CP's web servers ??? 
Anyway, if using such real-time web-client applications is unwanted or not permitted, just let me know and I will simply not create and use it.
You know, at this time, I'm working on the windows 7 gadget will perform the notification of the featured and latest articles announced on the CP's main page. Actually, the following gadget will performs xml-http Ajax requests timely within each 60 seconds to download the CP's main page and retrieve the data on the CP's featured articles currently shown to its readers.
Also, soon, I'm going to write an article in which I will discuss about the gadget's implementation and upload the specific code to the article's web page.

You should be asking the system admins for permission to do this.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks for your reply. If the specific admins permission is required, I'd better not to develop and use such web applications. I'm sorry for giving this question.
|
|
|
|
|
I am not saying that you are not allowed to do it. Just that you should ask the right people: the site administrators, not the visitors.
|
|
|
|
|
All right, I will contact and ask them just for my inquiry and interest.
|

Raddevus, thanks a lot for your comment and guidance.
|
|
|
|
|
Hopefully that is correct since I am answering in an unofficial capacity.
Please refer to all admin comments in relation to exactly what you should do.
thanks
|
|
|
|

No thanks. Because as just I've already explained, I'm not going to request any permissions from the admins. Instead, I will simply not to implement and use such unwanted harmful application.
Also, by navigating CP's web site I found the number of articles containing code implementing similar applications including offline articles editors, statistics and the CodeProject API. But, the most of them are not currently active due to security policy restrictions applied. Since then, I will not be implementing such things I've described the post with my question.
