Working hard with VB.Net, hard work, as I find C# much cleaner, but VB.NET does have the advantage of be able to edit code while debugging. And it compiles while you are working, but I have found that with 64 projects in my solution that the automatic compiler sometimes, quite a lot of the times hogs the machines resources, it would be nice to be able to turn the auto compiler off.
I don’t believe we ever added a switch for background compilation. Interestingly pretty much all Java IDEs do this as well – its C# which is the odd one out J Its also why intellisense and error reporting in VB is much better in the IDE J
Many VB projects end up with multiple solutions to try and keep the number of open projects down to 20 or less.
