I'm facing performance issues when editing xaml files (views, styles, app.xaml, ...) in Visual Studio 2015.
If a xaml file is open I got a really nasty delay when typing or scrolling, even in other files. Also my CPU goes up and IntelliSense is not loaded. When I close all xaml files then everything just go back to normal performance, also in other files like .cs or .resw.
After a while I got an error that say "An exception has been encounterd. This may be caused by an extenstion". And yes, I've looked in the ActivityLog.xml file, but I couldn't figure it out. There where 2 errors, 1 with a source of "ClientRights (Client rights determined)" and 1 with "Editor or Editor Extension (System.NullReferenceException)"
I'm running Windows Version 1607 (OS Build 14393.222) and Visual Studio 2015 Update 3.
I have the feeling that it all started when I installed update 3, not quite sure if that has something to do with it, it's been a while when I've been in a xaml project (in this case UWP).
It must be something to do with the XAML designer, although I disabled it.
These are the steps I've already tried:
- Disable extenstions (some couldn't be disabled)
- Uninstalled Resharper
- New install of vs2015 Update 3
- Found on stackoverflow (Visual Studio 2015 is extremely slow):
- Disable XMAL designer (Options > XAML Designer - uncheck "Enable XAML Designer")
- Disable solution analysis (Options > C# > Advanced - uncheck "Enable full solution analysis")
- Disable CodeLens (Options > Text Editor > All languages - uncheck "Enable CodeLens")
- Clear asp.net caches
Anyone facing the same problem? Any help would be very appreciated
