How do you turn off pre-build error checking in Visual Studio 2008 (particularly when working with SSIS)?

Question

I'm working on an SSIS package and the error checking is really causing it to lag. If you delete a component in the middle of a large dataflow, the error list gets populated by hundreds of Validation errors and it keeps refreshing every time you try to do anything. I turned on the DelayValidation property for the package, but that doesn't fix it.

Thanks for any help!

You have to set DelayValidation for every single object that has a DelayValidation flag. If you right click on the package name in the solution explorer -> click View Code -> run a find and replace in the document for the following:

"DelayValidation">0<

Replace with the following:

"DelayValidation">1<

This will set DelayValidation = True for all nodes. Save and close the View Code screen. I don't recommend doing this in general since I find the errors and warnings to be useful, but if you are frustrated by the performance then this will technically solve your problem.
