error highlighting?

not sure this is where I should be asking this, but here goes anyway. Anybody happen to know if there are any plans to add error highlighting support into visual studio 2005 for C# I know there was a plugin for 2003, resharper or something like that, which added the functionality, but it doesn't work with 2005. Is there another equivalent plugin or a potential update that might add it

    Tom,

    I assume you mean the "background compilation" functionality in VB and provided by ReSharper 2003 in C# where you see errors immediately as you type them

    ReSharper 2005 should have it, but unfortunately it is still in beta. At this time, I am unaware of another tool that offers it. If you don't mind using beta software, you can use the beta of ReSharper 2005:

    http://www.jetbrains.net/confluence/display/ReSharper/Download

    As beta software, expect it to have problems. I recommend checking out the bug forums first before installing just to see if it seems "safe" enough to use.

    Regards,

    Dave
