ImageCollection - Resource images are analyzed slowly if a project is large

ImageCollection - Cannot add from project resource file

created 9 years ago (modified 9 years ago)

I found tTwo other un-resolved cases of the same thing happening - see details here:
https://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/Question/Details/Q459035
https://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/Question/Details/T147036

My case is the same…

Very large project - has been working fine previously.
Just went to edit (add to) the images in a DevExpress.Utils.ImageCollection on a UserControl and got the same error, after freezing Visual Studio for about 2 minutes.
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Attempted to replicate by creating a test project - but couldn't replicate.
The problem is when clicking on "Load from Project Resources" on the Add button in the "ImageInfo Collection Editor"
When adding a new UserControl (WinForms .net 4.5 - C#) to the existing project - dropping an ImageCollection on it - and attempting to "Load from Project Resources" - problem still occurs, so it is a project wide problem.

    Would you like to remove this Add-in?
    If you choose yes, you will need to reinstall the Add-in to use it again.

      Ok - managed to get this out after turning off debug symbols (and some other things)
      Not sure what version of Visual Studio KA18588 is for - but some of the options weren't there - or different.  Perhaps that article could indicate the version used?
      Anyway…

        Hi,

        Thank you for the provided call stacks. We have discussed them with our developers and come to the conclusion that this issue can be caused by the fact that we analyze files not in an optimal way. Thus, if your application is large, you can experience such issues. Our developers have seriously re-worked our analyzer to improve the performance within the ImageCollection - Resource images are analyzed slowly if your project is large thread. Please download a hotfix from that ticket when it is ready and inform us if now you can load images from the project's resources.

        In addition, I would like to give you information you may be interested in. Our ImageCollection supports loading images from referenced assemblies. It means that you can create a separate library that will hold all the necessary images and reference this library in any project you need. We describe this approach in the ImageCollection help article. It is also possible to assign images to our controls or their elements at design time by using a smart tag. For instance, to assign an image to a bar item, simply use its smart tag and set an image by using our Image Picker as shown in the attached video. I hope that this information will be useful as well.

            Great thanks.
            I look forward to testing the hotfix when it's ready.
