Is the designer beta - It takes about 10-12 minutes to add a table with 19 columns. - Creating a new model takes about 2 min. And the toolbox failes to initilize I am using VS2008 pro and R# 4RC1 |

No, there's something seriously awry there. You might see an initial hit when VS first loads the designer assembly, and another when you first drag a table on (as VS loads the database connectivity bits), but these should be on the order of a few seconds, not minutes. The time to add a table will go up if your database is remote or if your database contains a lot of tables (because we scan the whole database for relationships), but this still wouldn't affect creating a new model, and 10-12 minutes is still far higher than we would expect unless your database is a colossal one at the far end of a dialup line! Can you let us know: * What is the spec of your PC? (CPU and RAM.) * What database engine are you using and is it local, LAN or WAN? * How many tables are in the database? Thanks! |

Thanks. We have reproduced the slow entity creation issue, and there is a candidate fix in the latest nightly build, available from http://www.mindscape.co.nz/Products/LightSpeed/nightlybuilds.aspx. Note that if you drag a large number of tables on, it will still be slow (there appears to be a bit of an issue with the SQL SMO libraries that we are using), but dragging a small number of tables from a large database should now be much quicker. Let us know if you still see problems. I'm afraid we still can't reproduce the "takes 2 minutes to add a model" issue or the toolbox initialisation issue. Does it take 2 minutes only the first time in a session that you add a model (e.g. like a DLL loading issue), and get faster second time around, or is it slow every time you add a model? Do you see any errors or warnings in the event log, either during installation (e.g. VsTemplate warnings) or when you do the add? Thanks for reporting these issues and for helping us to resolve them! |

We've now made some further changes which should improve the performance of dragging a large number of tables. (Though note that the Express edition is limited to 8 model classes, so if you are dragging on lots of tables, you won't be able to run the generated code under Express.) These will be available in nightly builds numbered 20080611 or above, available from about 1800 GMT at http://www.mindscape.co.nz/Products/LightSpeed/nightlybuilds.aspx. |
