Today i opened my FeedDemon in system where i usually subscribed to the blogs of my favourite mentors..
One of my favourite mentor is Scott Guthrie, he might not know me. But i consider and admire his talent and brilliance in Microsoft Technologies.
Scottgu in his blog has mentioned that there was been some bug fix released to Visual Studio 2010 RC recently. Slight performance fixes etc.
I felt it would be cool to requote to my blog, so one way or the other, those who are suffering with such performance issues in Visual Studio 2010 RC could be able to get a solution…

Patch that fixes crashes with Tooltip invocation and when hovering over identifiers
The Visual Studio team recently released a second patch that fixes some crashes we’ve seen when tooltips are displayed – most commonly when hovering over an identifier to view a QuickInfo tooltip.
You can learn more about this issue from this blog post, and download and apply the patch here.
Patch that fixes issues with the Web Forms designer not correctly adding controls to the auto-generated designer files
The Visual Web Developer team recently released a patch that fixes issues where web controls are not correctly added to the .designer.cs file associated with the .aspx file – which means they can’t be programmed against in the code-behind file.
This issue is most commonly described as “controls are not being recognized in the code-behind” or “editing existing .aspx files regenerates the .aspx.designer.(vb or cs) file and controls are now missing” or “I can’t embed controls within the Ajax Control Toolkit TabContainer or the <asp:createuserwizard> control“.

Common Cause of Intellisense and IDE sluggishness on Windows XP, Vista, Win Server 2003/2008 systems
Over the last few months we’ve occasionally seen reports of people seeing tremendous slowness when typing and using intellisense within VS 2010 despite running on decent machines. It took us awhile to track down the cause – but we have found that the common culprit seems to be that these machines don’t have the latest versions of the UIA (Windows Automation) component installed.
UIA 3 ships with Windows 7, and is a recommended Windows Update patch on XP and Vista (which is why we didn’t see the problem in our tests – since our machines are patched with all recommended updates). Many systems (especially on XP) don’t automatically install recommended updates, though, and are running with older versions of UIA. This can cause significant performance slow-downs within the VS 2010 editor when large lists are displayed (for example: with intellisense).
If you are running on Windows XP, Vista, or Windows Server 2003 or 2008 and are seeing any performance issues with the editor or IDE, please install the free UIA 3 update that can be downloaded from this page. If you scroll down the page you’ll find direct links to versions for each OS.
Note that we are making improvements to the final release of VS 2010 so that we don’t have big perf issues when UIA 3 isn’t installed – and we are also adding a message within the IDE that will warn you if you don’t have UIA 3 installed and accessibility is activated.
Improved Text Rendering with WPF 4 and VS 2010
We recently made some nice changes to WPF 4 which improve the text clarity and text crispness over what was in the VS 2010/.NET 4 Release Candidate. In particular these changes improve scenarios where you have a dark background with light text.
You can learn more about these improvements in this WPF Team blog post. These changes will be in the final release of VS 2010 and .NET 4.
