I was excited to dig into the MVC framework and start blogging about it, except that I found Visual Studio 2008 was borderline unusable.
Opening a ASPX file would stall my system, spike my CPU/Ram usage and sit there frozen, with the message "Initializing Toolbox" in the status bar.
Obviously, this was unacceptable, so I searched for a way to fix this issue. I believe it is related to having multiple versions of Visual Studio installed on the same system. In my case, I have 2003,2005 and 2008 for various different projects I work on.
Regardless of the cause, I finally found the fix:
- Navigate to: Documents And Settings\{UserName}\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio.
- You should see a directory named 9.0.
- Rename or delete this directory.
- Start Visual Studio 2008 and open a ASPX page. It should grind away for about 10 minutes.
- Eventually it will open, and everything will be good from then on.
An odd bug for sure, but now that it is fixed, VS 2008 is quite nice. After I have some time to digest the MVC bits, I hope to be able to blog on my opinion of the new framework.

This did not do the magic for me. I still see the same problem and its very hard to work with.
Toolbox on VStudio 2008 C# express is broken. Activex Controls I wrote with design-time license that I have been using without fault for year in VC++ 6, VB 6, Delphi 5, produce "activex reference does not reference an object" in VStudio 2008 C# express. My controls even work in VStudio 2008 Standard beta 2. But not in the new Express release. When I post on MSDN I see that any bug reports are swept into an "off topic" forum with no hint where they should be posted.
Does not help.
yes, does not help..
it worked for me, thanks :)
Seems to be working with all the latest VS 2008 updates and .NET 3.5 SP1. Before deleting the 9.0 folder, it was locking up in the HTML editor.
It helped! Thanks. Remember to turn off VS before you delete this folder.
It worked for me !
Deleting the directory did not help me, but what did eventually work was if I right-clicked on the Toolbox and selected the "Reset Toolbox" command. Once that process completed all was back to normal.
