Stop Visual Studio development mode from updating

Question

Does anyone know how to stop Visual Studio from automatically updating a Design view every time I change the source file associated with a form?

I am updating rows in a form containing about a million controls. I constantly go back and forth between design and code for the form. The loading time it takes to render a design every time kills me. I do not change anything that would directly affect the design, so is there any way to stop updating it every time?

Answer 1

No no. This is the default behavior and cannot be changed. Focused design representation will always try to update using the latest source. If he changed the design, there will be. This is necessary to ensure that any changes that occur in the user interface reflect changes in the current state of the source code.
