In Visual Studio 2008, when I save a file in the App_Code folder it takes quite a lot longer to save than a similar sized file that is located outside of App_Code folder.

Similarly, when I make changes to the code in a file in the App_Code folder, it takes the .Net Solution a lot longer to compile than it does when making code changes in other files. What is the reason for this? Thanks

Hi,

I have never noticed a difference, but if want to eliminate the app_code folder completely you can switch to a web application as opposed to a web site project and then you will be able to move these files into a separate project if you would like.

Enjoy!

There's a similar report on the connect.microsoft.com site. The microsoft solution pointed to a plugin Document!X, but that didn't seem to cover all reported cases. There are a couple of comments which states that the problem occurs without the plugin (like this post).

Other people in my office have also confirmed that this problem is happening for them. Maybe it's a common plugin we all use. But, I'm hoping there is a setting we can change to prevent this.
