I have this Windows Service on my development machine that's eating large amount of my memory when I run the application we're developing.
I have Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 Update 1.
Windows 8.1
.NET 4.5.51641
Event Tracing for Windows. See the article Improve Debugging And Performance Tuning With ETW in April 2007 Edition of the MSDN Magazine for more details.

I am a C# developer, I am using Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate on a Remote Desktop Connection but it is very laggy and annoying to develop remotely.
So, I wanted to ask what is the lightest edition of Visual Studio (600MB+) which I can get?
I have a high speed internet but the problem is that it is not unlimited (100GB quota only is what I have).
P.S. It is not important for the edition to be 2017, but I want it to be 2012 or higher.
EDIT: My problem is not in the disk space which I have, but in my internet quota.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
A blog article here is stating that "Visual Studio Express" is the smallest in size and exactly as what you wanted (600MB+).
VS Express won't provide you as more features as VS Community, Pro or Enterprise - but it is providing the important ones.
It seems that Visual Studio Express 2017 is the final version of "VS Express" - So Microsoft won't continue the development of "VS Express" anymore.
And if you want to have the final lightweight edition of Visual Studio then I'd recommend Visual Studio Express 2012.
You can download the offline installer of VS Express 2012 here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/F/5/1F519CC5-0B90-4EA3-8159-33BFB97EF4D9/VS2012_WDX_ENU.iso (608 MB).
And it will require 4GB~ of disk space size to be installed.
I am trying to create test case in C# for the WDF drivers of Smartcard devices. but i could not find the Windows driver > Windows Driver Test template under installed Visual C#. I am using the Visual Studio 2013 for Windows Desktop. i could not even find the Windows Driver Test in online template. Any other package i need to install?
You might be running into problems because of the version of Visual Studio that you're running: VS 2013 for Windows Desktop is essentially an "Express" edition of VS put together to provide developers with a basic IDE for building Windows desktop apps for free. The Express SKU's of VS were, however, limited in their functionality and do not support add-ons and additional SDK's, project templates and/or tooling such as WDK. For that you'll likely need a Pro edition of VS.
Note: Microsoft has recently released Visual Studio Community Edition which is a full release of VS Pro, including add-ons and extensibility, but free for non-commercial use and/or dev teams of up to 5 people. If you meet these licensing requirements, then you may have more luck using VS Community Release than VS for Windows Desktop.
I recently upgraded from VS 2010 to VS 2013 for a new project. I'm finding that when right-clicking on a folder (but not an individual file) in my Web Application project, it takes about 2 seconds for the context-menu to load. The other dozen or so non-web projects in the solution do not have this performance problem. Additionally, within that slow context menu, if I click on the Add-> item to bring up the sub-menu to add a new view/class/whatever, that menu takes anywhere from 5-10 seconds appear. If from there I think choose something like "New Scaffolding Item", that dialog can take about 30 seconds to appear.
Others on my project do not seem to be having this issue, though they've got slightly better hardware and are running Windows 8 (vs me running Windows 7). I've tried disabling the visual experience elements as described here but it did not seem to have an effect. My system only seems to be using about 5GB of the 8GB available RAM, and my CPU Usage never goes above 30%. I've tried disabling ReSharper in case that was somehow causing the slowdown, but it had no effect on performance.
How can I fix this huge slowdown?

Update: In a hope to fix this, I completely wiped my hard drive and updated to Windows 8. I also upgraded to 16GB of RAM. I then installed just enough software so that I could compile the project. I'm still getting the same slowdown. However, if I create a brand new Web Application, the context menus are speedy. Could something about the project itself cause a slowdown?
I am having the same issue as you. Old web projects are effecting and new web projects are ok.
What I found is I am using a lot of NuGet package in the project and local NuGet cache (C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\NuGet\Cache) is empty because this is new machine.
I recompile the whole solution. NuGet packages are caching in that folder. After compilation is successfully, problem solved.
I am not sure what is happening but this solve my problem. Strange thing is I need to recompile all solutions. Uncompiled solutions have this issue and after compile, this is gone.
We were struggling with the same issue from a long time. Right Click on a project or on the any folder inside project used to take at least 10 seconds for the menu to appear. The solution was quite simple.
Just get rid of all the broken references.
Please refer following image. Such broken references need to be removed.
Remove such references and try right click again, context menu will appear withing a fraction of seconds.
This worked for us.
If its happening for a single project means, you can try out the following
Delete .suo file in your project.
And then Restart the visual studio.
Try loading your project again.
This may provide you a fine solution.
Just to add to the possible solutions, I had the same problem.
BTW I am using VC-2013 Ultimate with R# and NCrunch.
Right clicking on any solution item took forever. I closed the solution and deleted the _ResharperXXX folder in the solution directory.
The problem was gone after I started the solution again.
This has happened a few times now and I have managed to fix it by doing the above every time.
I have an old application developed in Microsoft Visual studio 2003. I have received a change request to modify few functionalities.
Please let me know the link to download Visual Studio 2003.
Unless you are MSDN subscriber you can not obtain the Visual Studio 2003. See this Link for MSDN Subscribers
Take a look at Development Tools and Languages too.
I assume VS 2003 is not supported and maybe also not available for purchase anymore. For further information have a look here.
As of end of 2019 MS still provides downloads for free SDK:
Windows® Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK exe
Windows® Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK ISO
A new feature of Visual Studio 2013 is that the Tasks Window includes all pending async tasks. In the introduction blog, S. Somasegar says that this only works in Windows 8.1 due to changes in the OS.
With all of the work we did for C# and Visual Basic in .NET 4.5 and
Visual Studio 2012 to enable more productive asynchronous programming,
I’m particularly excited about improvements we’ve made in this release
to support async debugging (you need to be using Visual Studio 2013 on
Windows 8.1 to get this capability, as the debugger relies in part on
some new operating system support to enable it).
Which new API does Windows 8.1 include?
On the platform side, take a look at the Windows.Foundation.Diagnostics namespace. I believe some of the new Win8.1 platform pieces are in there.
