HI all

i am working on a web application from last 3 years which have vss as a version controlling system. from last few months i am facing a problem in visual studio when this project loads and its not good experience working on that. everything becomes very slow from intellesense to load project and even run on local host and even open a file from solution explorer.


is this because of the vss that maintain a versions of each files. if i run a new project on visual studio it seems working fine.

I don't think so. The reason could be different. To my taste, the whole idea of integration of Revision Control System into Visual Studio is not so good. Revision control should act in non-intrusive way and cover all files and directories which should be covered, in a way agnostic to the their nature.

Nevertheless, I want to warn you: throw out VSS and never ever use it. Not only it is quite obsolete, it's unreliable by design. For example, it is notoriously non-transactional; some concepts are seriously flawed. I know people who suffered dearly from that. Your code asserts are too valuable to trust them to close-source, close in general, unsupportable proprietary tool. Revision control can be free of charge, open-source, supported by big community and much, much lighter and more reliable.
