Visual Studio hangs when SSIS has an issue

When all the servers that my SSIS jobs talks to are online there are no issues. As soon as one of them goes down though, Visual Studio 2019 Professional will totally lock up if I open the SSIS package because it can't do the validation. Is there any way to work around that? Why isn't that validation done on a background thread? Locking up the UI is evil.

    Visual Studio has a global switch to disable connections validations. It is a relatively new feature available since release of the SQL Server Integration Services Projects version 3.9.

    Hi @Scott-3123 ,

    1.Please choose Work offline;

    2.Please set Delay Validation as True;

    3.Please set ValidateExternalMetaData as False;

    Please refer to there are situations in which validation is not desirable.

    Best Regards,
