Blue Squiggly Line... :(

[squirrelly1]

How can I stop VB from automatically checking code for validity (before I compile)...

That little blue line is getting pretty freakin' annoying!!!

TY,

You know... there's a reason that code is checked for validity.

Why do you want to ignore faulty code?

I think you could try CTRL+F5.

[squirrelly1]

I don't want to ignore it... I just don't want to pay attention to it at the moment... A majority of the time it'll pop the line up there for the most obvious of things (pressing Enter at the wrong time or not finishing a string)

It just get's annoying, that's all...

I'll try CTRL + F5...

TY,

You can't.

Well that just sucks.

I think its odd that you find them so annoying considering that is half of the job of the IDE to provide that kind of feedback. Be thankful its not the VB6 days were you didn't know until you compiled your code about some of that and it would pop up an Error msgbox as soon as you moved away from a line with certain errors in it. That sucked balls.

I do admit that it has it's usefulness at times, but when I'm in the middle of some line of code and have to check something (what a named a control for instance...) and I flip back to the code it tells me that the code is erroneous, when it is actually just incomplete...

I don't know, maybe it's just me... but that is kind of tedious and tiring to look at ALL of the time...

go to run then type cmd. set your path to c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v_blah. type notepad file.vb. code. then compile. lol. for more info. vbc /help. there... no blue lines... lol

.... my VS doesn't auto check now - but I don't know what happened and I want it back!!!!
Also, the IDE crashes whenever I try to add a new project. I've tried reinstalling - anyone got an answer to this???

You can always download the compiler for free and code in a plain text editor. Either way, your code won't compile correctly, or at all, if it has errors.

To be fair, you could turn that off. And it was better than anything that came before it.

Well... M$ could have at least given us the option to turn off the auto-parser/compiler/tester... whatever... in this version of VB...

oh, well... on coding I go

If all you want to do is get rid of the blue line, go to Tools->Options->Enviroment->Fonts and Colors

Set the Compiler Error foreground color to the same color as your IDE background color.
