I'm working on an existing ASP.NET MVC 1 application in Visual Studio 2008. When I open a view about 10-20 seconds later I can't set the focus into Visual Studio. When I click with the mouse I get a system ding. Mouse wheel will scroll the source code window. Keyboard doesn't work, but the cursor is flashing.
Doing a few SO searches I found something similar and the suggestion was to:
1) clear the ngen cache
2) Install a patch that was mentioned by Phil Haack
I've done both of these but I'm still having trouble.
Any ideas or additional information that may be needed?
In addition to ASP.NET MVC I also have VisualSVN 1.7.7 and CodeRushXpress 9.3.2 installed

After uninstalling the “Microsoft Visual Studio Web authoring Component”, the problem seems have to have disappeared.

I am debugging an ASP.NET MVC app from Visual Studio 2013. When I start the debug process from Visual Studio, IIS Express where app is hosted gets stuck (my app is not started). It often happens to me. In this situation, I manually stop IIS Express from the tray icon. Even stopping IIS Express from the tray icon I often need to stop manually the debugging from Visual Studio through the stop button. Once debugging is stopped, If I try to debug again it does not work, well, sometimes works and sometimes not, it is random. I have verified that if I clear all browser history and cookies, it works in most cases except for some time. Also I have observed that Visual Studio 2013 takes a long time to boot IIS Express where my ASP.NET MVC app is hosted. Finally, I have observed that my ASP.NET MVC app hosted in IIS Express sometimes is not being displayed correctly when debugging from Visual Studio, I mean, it is displayed without css styles being applied, it seems like css styles are missed. In this case, if I stop debugging and start it again it works.
So How can I improve or solve these kind of weird issues?

This is a quite strange issue and l suggest you could try these suggestions
Suggestion
1) delete all caches under C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\ComponentModelCache, C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp and C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache.
2) close VS Instance, delete .vs hidden folder,bin,obj folder under the physcial path of the solution and then reopen your project
3) If you have IntelliTrace, please disable Enable IntelliTrace under Tools-->Options-->IntelliTrace-->General.
4) try another port like 56000 by right-clicking on the project-->Properties-->Web--> project url.
5) disable any third party extensions by Tools-->Extensions and Updates or just use devenv /safemode in developer command prompt for vs2013.
6) try to reinstall IIS on the control panel and if your IIS is not 10.0, I suggest you could download and use it.
In addition, VS2013 is too old and Microsoft does not continue to maintain it. So l suggest you could download and use the latest VS2019. It has more optimization and stronger performance than the previous VS and fixes some remaining issues from previous releases.
I got this problem: while debugging ASP.NET MVC projects I should be able to update razor views with ease and refresh the browser to see the imediate results, but when I try to do this Visual Studio freezes a lot and I have to stop debugging and sometimes to close the editor via Task Manager.
Is there any solution to this, if yes, what can I do ?
I faced the same issue. Installing Visual Studio 2015 update rc1 worked for me.
You can download it from:

We are attempting to add MVC to an old, large, legacy webforms app. (The intent is to gradually re-implement portions of the app using MVC until the old app is gone).
Setting it up has gone smoothly. We have an MVC Area, and I created a controller which is accessible when running the app, by means on directly typing the url.
But whenever we "Add > Controller" or "Add > View"... Visual Studio hangs for around 10 minutes "Not Responding".
Clearly there is some bug in visual studio interacting with some quirk in our legacy project.
Googling, I have so far found only a few similar cases that are old & do not seem applicable.
Not sure where to begin resolving this.
UPDATE:
For what it is worth, we have converted the original VB webforms project to C#. I then added MVC Nuget package and and MVC area. Visual studio no longer seems to hang when adding controllers. So this might be a VB specific thing. Or maybe some windows update to visual studio fixed this in the interim since i posted this. Not sure.
The problem is still present in Visual Studio 2015 Update 1.
As a workaround, instead of selecting "Add View" you can select "New Item" and choose a page template from Web/MVC instead.
It is still in Visual Studio 2017; It takes time and you can restart making Controller/View or you can wait sometimes
this seems like bugs from visual studio,
you can copy other controller and paste it then rename namespace.
for temporary until visual studio is fixed.
I'm having the same issue. This should work. I'm selecting "Add Controller" from the context menu. It just spins saying Visual Studio not responding. This is with Visual Studio 2015.
In my case this situation arises when adding view to the controller and visual studio 2015 hangs indefinitely. However it creates the view file in the directory but not shown in solution explorer. I have manually copy pasted the file from directory to solution explorer and everything worked well.

I've created an Umbraco 7.1.8 in Visual Studio 2013 using MVC templates. When I edit the templates in Visual Studio the editor slows right down and VS shows a permanent 13% usage in Task Manager. If it helps, I'm using Windows 8.1 64-bit on a machine with a 2.3GHz quad-core cpu. Other projects work fine.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Okay, found out what the problem was. It turns out if you don't include the .cshtml file in your Visual Studio project (just edit it with Show All Files enabled), you don't get Intellisense and it results in the CPU usage and performance issue I described.
So basically, if you're editing files in Visual Studio, make sure they're included in the project (not greyed out in the Solution Explorer). I'll accept this as the answer as soon as it lets me.
I'm trying to open MVC project using VS2010.
I'm opening this project from TFS server but I'm failed to open it
and getting error :
The project type is not supported by this installation.
please help.
You basically don't have something installed. That's why you get this error. I am very sure that you need to install the VS MVC project type - either MVC 2 or MVC 3. Use The Web Plaform Installer to install. The web platform installer can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx. Once you have installed it (it is only 2MB) you need to search for "MVC", install the MVC 2 and MVC 3 project templates.
I got this error when I forgot to select the Web Developer feature in the Visual Studio setup. Unfortunately, the error you mentioned is the only error you get when Visual Studio 2010 is installed without this feature. You can install the Web Developer feature using the Windows control panel.
By popular demand (7+ and counting), I'm placing part of CodingWithSpike's comment here. Specifically, the procedure to explicitly add Visual Web Designer to VS install.
open Control Panel
select Programs and Features (or Add/Remove Programs)
choose Visual Studio
click "Uninstall/Change"
this opens the VS installer in maintenance mode.
Click "Next" once
Click "Add or Remove Features"
Checkbox "Visual Web Designer"
click Update button.
Enjoy having a working product!
Edit the project.csproj file and look at the <ProjectTypeGuids>{E53F8FEA-EAE0-44A6-8774-FFD645390401};{349c5851-65df-11da-9384-00065b846f21};{fae04ec0-301f-11d3-bf4b-00c04f79efbc}</ProjectTypeGuids>
The GUIDS above includes MVC 3 Tools Update. That's a good guess of what you are missing. You can get MVC 3/TU from http://www.asp.net/mvc/mvc3
BTW, that install includes VS2010 SP1 which is required for the TU edition.
If you've installed Visual Studio 2010 after Visual Studio Web Dev Express and MVC4, Visual Studio 2010 doesn't seem to pick up the MVC 4 templates. Running the MVC 4 installer again via the Web Platform Installer doesn't fix it. Repairing the MVC 4 installation fixed it in my case:
Under Control Panel, choose Programs/Uninstall a program.
Find Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 4 and double-click it.
The Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 4 Setup prompt will appear. Choose Repair.
Visual Studio 2010 Express to Pro, ASP.NET MVC 4 installed but not an option?
in my case, i had opened my VS2010 solution, in vs2012, i was getting the project type is not supported, tried re installing mvc3 as was suggested, cancelled re installation, then i had the issue i couldn't open the project in VS2010 anymore. then tried to re install mcv3 again. solution was, uninstall mcv3, uninstall mcv4, then reinstall mcv3, then i could reopen my project in VS2010 . hope this helps someone!
