Visual Studio 2008 - speed up Add Reference
visual-studio, visual-studio-2008
Solution
No, I don't believe there is a good way to speed it up.
However, you can try a plug-in that does similar a thing but faster:
Fast Add Reference Dialog
CR_QuickAddReference
Problem
Is there any way to speed up the Add Reference dialog? For example, has anyone found any way to open it by default in the Recent or Browse tabs (which is what I use 90% of the time), to avoid the other tabs' slowness? All I have found is this blog post where a lot of people complain about this issue, but no solutions... Note that this is not a duplicate of 8440 as this is not a general question.
