VS17 has an option to "quick load" projects. It loads up in a jiffy (unlike it's previous versions), but you cannot use some of the IDE features.
I seriously hope they add a lazy load feature in the future.
- oblio 10y agoIsn't quick load just a rename of lazy load, based on your description?
- ranveeraggarwal 10y agoNope, apparently quick load doesn't load several IDE features at all. What I mean by lazy load is that it should incrementally load the IDE features after the IDE starts.
- StavrosK 10y agoJeez, the obvious optimization would have been to load some of the features first and then load the rest, but to not load them at all? That's not very useful.
- oblio 10y agoWell, as a back-seat commenter I agree with you but they probably had a good reason to not do it. Most likely something to do with development complexity. There's a ton of smart people working on Visual Studio, I'm willing to trust their judgment on this :)
- StavrosK 10y agoWell, they definitely had good reason, it's just that the feature isn't very useful without the extra work. Although, I don't know exactly how much functionality is missing, so I might be wrong.
- goldfire 10y agoThere's a feature called Lightweight Solution Load [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/extensibility/lightweight-solution-load-extension-impact https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/extensibility/...] which does seem to just lazily load projects. But even with that turned off, opening large solutions is vastly faster than in VS2015.
