I've been using VS2003 and have come accross a few things that could cause
this (even in small solutions with 5 or 6 VB projects).
1) Bad references. If your projects reference each other, make sure you use
project references instead of referencing the actual DLL. Expand the
references portion of the solution explorer and make sure there is no
missing references.
2) Handling Events in a derived windows form from a control that resides on
a base form. This messes up designers pretty badly and can slow down the
intellisense engine a lot. Instead declare an event on the base form and
raise it from the base form so the derived form can catch it.
Hope this helps,
Trev.
