Q: 

Visual Studio Won't Mark Errors

I just upgraded from VS C# Express and VS would mark my errors on the fly and now in full VS 2008 they aren't marked until compile time. I have checked the settings and have I have the check boxes marked for showing errors. I have even reset the VS settings and that didn't work either. I have the free version of devExpress, does anyone know if that would screw stuff up?

Thanks.

A: 

I don't believe VS supports this type of functionality. You will need to use a tool like ReSharper to catch errors live.

It does. See RichardOD's post.

That was true in older versions of VS, up to 2005, I think. But 2008 has it built in, or should.

+3  A: 

Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C# -> Advanced -> Underline errors in the editor?

That is turned on and it still won't show anything.

OK- try tools -> import and export settings -> Reset all settings. I had a load of other settings break once and that fixed them...

I already did that too and it didn't fix the issue.

Uninstall any plugins, and then reset all settings?
Joel Mueller  2009-12-08 23:08:53
@Joel- that sounds like a sensible next step
