This article will explain in detail what improvements there are to add a reference dialog box in Visual Studio 2010. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Add reference dialog box in Visual Studio 2008

Previous versions of Visual Studio's add reference dialog box loaded slowly, which has led to widespread complaints from many developers (including myself).

When previous versions of Visual Studio opened the add reference dialog box, the .NET page was opened by default, and when the page was loaded, Visual Studio synchronously scanned the global assembly cache (GAC) for .NET assembly information. Because the GAC scan is performed on the UI thread, it will freeze the IDE until the scan is over, which means you can't cancel the operation, even if you don't want to use the page.

Because GAC scanning often takes a long time (if you install countless assemblies or the hard drive is slow), as a result, you will wait a long time for the dialog box to respond.

Add reference dialog box in Visual Studio 2010

The Beta2 version of Visual Studio 2010 introduces several gratifying changes to the behavior of the add reference dialog box that will significantly improve its performance.

* one improvement is that the add reference dialog box in Visual Studio 2010 now opens the Project page by default instead of the .NET page, which means that dialogs are always loaded quickly. If you want to configure the project's reference to the project, or browse the file system to select the file assembly, you can select these pages right now without waiting for something to load.

The second improvement is that the. NET and COM pages are now loaded asynchronously without blocking UI threads when populating the list. This means that if you accidentally click on these pages, you will no longer be stuck there, waiting for them to load synchronously. In Visual Studio 2010, you can now click "cancel" to close the dialog box or click another page.

This is the end of this article on "what is the improvement of the add reference dialog box in Visual Studio 2010?". I hope the above content can be of some help to you, so that you can learn more knowledge. if you think the article is good, please share it out for more people to see.
