I recently joined a new company that was already using Infragistics controls. Sat down at my new PC and over the past month I have experienced a lag inside Visual Studio that I have never experienced in my 7+ years of using it. Most of the slow downs are in pages that contain an UltraWebGrid.
While I understand that these controls have a ton (almost too many IMO) of properties, it's VERY annoying to have to lag a second or two while I am simply moving my mouse through the code in Source Mode of the markup.
VS.NET 2008 (Team Edition)NET Advantage 2008.1
Has anyone else experienced this same issue and have you found a solution or atleast a work around?
There were some noticible slowness issues with VisualStudio 2008, especially as the ASPX size got bigger. I believe the bug was addressed in SP1. You may want to give that a try and see if it corrects the problem.

With SP1 still being in Beta, and my company preparing for a release, I cannot at this time try this out. That being said, I don't believe it is a VS.NET issue. This is only an issue on pages with infragistics controls. The sheer number of properties seems to choke up the intellisense.
I'll see if there's anything we can do from the control aspect of this, but if the issue really is the number of properties, short of lopping off properties/features, I'm not sure we'll be able to improve the Visual Studio Intellisense response time for code completion. I'll mention the slowness to Microsof the next time I'm out there, but I would also recommend you (and anyone else running into this) submit a bug report through the connect site (http://connect.microsoft.com/)
