Why doesn't C# have an instant error list, like VB.NET?

In Visual Studio when developing on VB.NET, we would get an instant error list- before compiling or building the solution. Why doesn't C# have this same functionality? Whenever I want to see my errors, I have to compile first...

It all depends on your IDE; maybe your C# IDE doesn't compile the source code
you're typing in behind your back. Java's Eclipse and NetBeans do so. They only
parse just enough text to be sure that the code that you have typed is syntactically
correct. Sometimes they even manage to find semantic errors. Maybe C# isn't
such a lucky language and you have to compile everything manually yourself
before you can see the mistakes you've made.

kind regards,

VS 2005 does that as well. Both the professional and Express versions.

So you are able to see errors, other than syntax errors, before you compile your application using Visual Studio?

How would I ensure that this is turned on in my settings?

Thanks for the replies...

I only see syntax errors. Are you saying you can see runtime errors before compiling your VB.NET?

Yes. In VB.NET, we could see some runtime errors before compiling. Not all of them of course...

Not knowing VB.NET I find that very strange. What causes those runtime errors then?

kind regards,

You can't see runtime errors in VB.NET's IDE. They are compile-time errors that you are seeing.
