Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You debug a Microsoft Visual Basic application in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.
-
The application calls any method that has a variable that contains a large XML element. For example, the application calls the XElement.Parse method to access a large XML element. The XML element is used as a local variable, as a local field, or as a local parameter.
-
You step through the method in Visual Studio 2010, then the XML element is displayed in the Locals, Autos, or Call Stack window.
In this scenario, Visual Studio 2010 might be slow when you step through the method.
Cause
This issue occurs because the debugging components of Visual Basic handle the XML element incorrectly.
When the XML element is displayed in the Locals, Autos, or Call Stack window as a local variable, as a local field, or as a local parameter, the XML element is handled incorrectly.
