9,864 PointsIs it normal for VS to be a bit slow building? [Solved]
Hi all,
I've just got to the part of the C# track where we start using Visual Studio (I'm using 2017) and I've noticed that it's taking a lot longer to build, and wanted to check I haven't set something up wrong?
For example, a really basic hello world program:
using System;
namespace Test
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Test");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
Built in 2.07sec in VS( fastest, once it was nearly 4), but when I went to the same file in bash on windows and built it with mono, bash timed it at 0.676Sec real time.
(Note that was timing a brand new project with the code pasted into VS as I realised it only builds the changes you make, and caches builds).
If that's just life, that's okay, it just seemed really slow for a simple Hello World, so I wanted to check I didn't miss something :)
Thanks in advance!

I used the Visual Studio installer to run "repair" and it's now building the same thing at 1.1 Seconds. No idea how I managed to break it just by installing it, but whoo! :)

32,999 PointsHm 4 sec for this code is a bit so slow for VS. Tested your code in my VS 2017 i only need 0.7 sec.
