As a follow-on to my previous post about using c++ in vs.net after having
experience with c# in vs.net.

In c#, I get excellent real-time feedback from the IDE as I type my code.
For example, if I type a brace instead of a bracket, chances are that the
IDE will highlight the error in color immediately.   In c++, I find that the
IDE waits until I hit the "build" or "debug" icon before it reports syntax
errors.   Can I make a change in vs.net configuration to "turn on" real-time
syntax checking for c++?

Thanks,

-- Bruce

I don't think it is possible even in VS 2005 for performance reasons. C++ is
much heavier language and compilation requires preprocessing of all includes
(which C# lacks), classes might be templated, implementation may be
scattered across multiple files, macros, #define and #undef, etc, etc.

Thanks

Understood.  Makes sense.
Thanks, Bruce
