Protip: Don't use Rider's winform designer. It will glitch out and destroy your work.

And don't use Visual Studio because it will freeze every time you close the application you are debugging.

Actually, just go be a beet farmer.

I've never had a problem is VS code, user error?

@tristan63 About 60% of the time VS 2019 freezes for minutes when I close the application I'm working on. It happens seemingly at random. It happens in debug and release mode. It happens with and without Resharper installed. I have no other extensions and VS is as up to date as it gets.

It may be something about the application, but even so, it's unacceptable that the entire IDE would lock up for 5 minutes at a time during normal usage.

Addendum: As I was typing this, it occurred to me that it may be the antivirus conflicting. I've added an exception for VS and the project to Defender and we'll see how that goes.

tbh i actually prefer designing forms in code.

@tristan63 You never used visual studio either so you are the error here. They are two completely different environments.

@tristan63 VS and VS Code are two different things.
