Is there any way to do this at any level other than disabling intellisense in all of Visual Studio? Just wanted to confirm/deny a suspicion about its performance in some of our overly giant projects/solutions while keeping it in other areas that we actually care about.

  • Just FYI, I have a C# class converted/ported from legacy code in a different language which has 7424 members and 51097 lines long. Visual Studio is generally slow doing _stuff_ in that code file but hitting its intellisense is still pretty fast. – Chris Sinclair Jan 22 '13 at 22:16

AFAIK there's no way to selectively disable Intellisense. Try disabling it completely and see if that would make a big difference.

  • You can manually mark your members/class using the [EditorBrowsable](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.componentmodel.editorbrowsableattribute.aspx) attribute though I can't say for certain how exactly Visual Studio implements/handles that (it may still do a lot of code analysis just to decide not to show it) – Chris Sinclair Jan 22 '13 at 22:11

I have noticed a slow down in Visual Studio on my work machine with several VS extensions installed like Spell Checker. Disabling them helped.
