VS 2008 Hot-Fix Roll-Up

在Scott Gu的Blog看到VS2008出了Hotfix Roll-up(Roll-up差不多就像Hotfix懶人包，可省去得逐一安裝的麻煩)的消息，看了一下它所修理的Bug，主要都是集中在HTML編輯相關的功能:

HTML Source view performance

• Source editor freezes for a few seconds when typing in a page with a custom control that has more than two levels of sub-properties.
• “View Code” right-click context menu command takes a long time to appear with web application projects.
• Visual Studio has very slow behavior when opening large HTML documents.
• Visual Studio has responsiveness issues when working with big HTML files with certain markup.
• The Tab/Shift-Tab (Indent/Un-indent) operation is slow with large HTML selections.

Design view performance

• Slow typing in design view with certain page markup configurations.

HTML editing

• Quotes are not inserted after Class or CssClass attribute even when the option is enabled.
• Visual Studio crashes when ServiceReference element points back to the current web page.

JavaScript editing

• When opening a JavaScript file, colorization of the client script is sometimes delayed several seconds.
• JavaScript IntelliSense does not work if an empty string property is encountered before the current line of editing.
• JavaScript IntelliSense does not work when jQuery is used.

Web Site build performance

• Build is very slow when Bin folder contains large number of assemblies and .refresh files with web-site projects.

從VS 2005切換到VS 2008後，一直覺得Web Design View點選不同的Control時，Properties Window的反應很慢，常要等個幾秒才會切換到新點選的Control。在Souce View編輯HTML Tag時，也常有拖拍的感覺，總之整體操作過程很不順暢。害我一度以為才買一年的Core 2 Duo E6400 CPU已經玩不起VS 2008這個大傢伙，差點興起掏錢升級的衝動(另一個催敗的理由是現在的RAM真是便宜到不行，好想把機器升到8G)。

看來有此感受的不只我一個，這次蒐集的Hot-Fix，幾乎都在解決IDE回應緩慢的問題(我特別跟"慢"有關的部分都標了出來，呵呵)，聽到這個消息，當然就是義無反顧、亳不猶豫，直接下載安裝。

Update @ 2008-02-22
經網友James, Eric反應，我再仔細看了該文章的回文，發現該Patch並非Scott原先以為的跨語系，而只適用英文與日文版，裝中文版的朋友要再等等。

Update 2008-03-28 該Hotfix已支援中文囉, 謝謝網友James提供情資
