Slow Debugging in VS 2010

Symptom

Debugging a solution in Visual Studio 2010 is painfully slow on some machines.

Solution Option 1 - Exclude unecessary symbols Option 2 - Did not work for me

Visual Studio will download the symbol files automatically if you enable source server support. When loading symbol files, Visual Studio will take a few munites to download the files from microsoft symbol server to local folder. There might be net work traffic issue which may delay the loading process. Try to download the source code manually to see if you could speed up the process: http://referencesource.microsoft.com/netframework.aspx

To Get the App.Config file from another Assembly

public static string GetAppConfig(string key) {

string fName = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location.Substring(0,Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location.LastIndexOf("\\"));"\\MyApp.exe.config";

XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();

XmlNode xNode = xDoc.SelectSingleNode("/configuration/appSettings");

XmlNode keyNode = xNode.SelectSingleNode(string.Format("//add[@key='{0}']", key));

 return keyNode.Attributes["value"].Value;

}
