Visual C# .NET 2005 express problems

[kimiraikkonen]

Visual C#.NET 2005 express has some issues, unlike VB.NET 2005 has
none of them:

The most annoying one is:
For example if there's a coding error, it must be reported at the
buttom of the screen in "error list" "REAL-TIME". At least, that was
like that in VB.NET 2005 express. But in Visual C# .NET 2005 you won't
be able to aware of coding errors till you press "play" build & run
button.

Unlike in VB.NET 2005 express again, if there's a coding error it must
be reported simultaneously and real-time when you change active line
by clicking anywere with cursor or when you jump somewhere blank with
keyboard. But it doesn't like that, again, errors are reported after
you press build & run button. Thus you cannot be aware of if there's a
coding error till debugging.

Another thing: Don't know SP1 have fixed or not this, if you try to
place shockwave flash object (flash9b.ocx), you get error, this
problem's solution was to rebuild project although the error message,
then running again which was working exactly in VB.NET 2005 express,
which completely did NOT work in Visual C# .NET 2005.

Of course there may be more bugs/problems in VC# 05 but they're
strongly disappointment.

Which other development platform (GUI, with good IDE of course) do you
recommend for Windows based C# development (must include all of
toolbox contols and .NET components (optional)?

Thanks for reading.

Except delay about background compiler / or called real-time error
reporting, there's another thing which was included in VB.NET 05
express:

In C# if you type a known object / class wrong accidently, it will not
be corrected automatically. You have to find by yourself:

Example:

Listbox1.items. add("hello") ---"items" case must be upper -->
"Items" (correct)

That was auto-corrected in VB.NET but sometimes / not always, not
corrected in C#.

Thanks.

Look you have to understand that VB.NET was an abomination developed
to appease the VB6 crowd. VB6 was fantastic in that you could debug
your code while it was running and changes were immediately put into
effect. No restarting. This is why VB.NET allows edit and continue
*and* as a side effect compiles as you edit. VB6 convertees would have
been very very annoyed without edit and continue.

Second c# is case sensitive. This means you could (but should not)
have an object with both an items member and an Items member. For this
reason it shouldn't auto correct. You can however auto complete by
pressing CTRL+Space anywhere in the word. type i and press CTRL+Space
and if there is only one i method it will auto complete, otherwise it
will pop up the available options and allow you to pick. So with an
object that has members called:

items
cows
covers

type i and it will auto complete items, press c and it will offer you
cows and covers in a drop down.
