Speed up .NET Compact Framework compile time by a LOT!


I was complaining on Twitter about the long time it takes to compile a Compact Framework application and Steve Schoon informed me of a hack you can do to DRASTICALLY speed up the time it takes to compile! You can get the details here.

Read the entire thing so you are aware of what you’re disabling by performing this hack but unless you are constantly flipping back and forth to various different target platforms with your mobile development, you shouldn’t need this feature very often at all! It dropped our compile times down from about 3 minutes to about 10 seconds. It was amazing!

    This doesn’t seem to work on VS 2008. Any ideas? Compile time is painfully slow…
