Can anyone tell me how to make vs.net underline errors as I am typing; it
does this when writing VB.net, but not with C#?

Example:
anObject.nonExistantMethod(); does not show as an error until I try to
build the project.

Thanks

VB and C# have different ways of error detection and intellisense. Each
language provides its own implementation, there is no such thing as common
intellisense or error detection engine. VB constantly compiles your file in
the background and can reliably detect all errors. C# does not performa full
compilation and therefore some errors may not be detected. I believe C#
error detection is significantly improved in VS 2005.

Ok, fair enough. I must admit that I'm a little disappointed though; it seems
that you get this functionality with vb.net and all the java ide's I've tried,
but not with c#? Considering that Visual Studio is Microsoft's flagship
developer product, and the level to which c# is being pushed, I still find
java development with Eclipse far more satisfying from a usability point of
view. Are there any other c# developers out there that also use other tools
and feel that Visual Studio is (for the time being) slightly behind?
