MSDN Form Load Performance Enhancement...

I read this article on msdn that sounds great and makes sense about how the
designer by default does things a certain way for adding controls to the
form...And that there is a better way to do

me.control.controls.add(me.othercontrol)

you can do me.othercontrol.parent = me.control

However, everytime that I go back to the designer it changes the code that I
had changed in InitializeComponent.
Is there a way to make this not happen? Thanks

No, every time you use the designer the code gets regenerated. I recall an
inexpensive add-in that did this work for you but I don't have a link
handy...

I believe this is the add-on you are referring to. Have not used it, but it
is inexpensive, and soon to be free according to the website.

Good luck!

Jim,

Have you found that this technique actually improves performance?

I seem to recall that SP2 onwards already included this?

A previous post of mine on this subject had some other techniques that
you may find useful.

"Optimising InitializeComponent (takes 1 second!)"

Thanks

Has Microsoft improved the forms designer in VS2005?
