Error Watcher

Build status

This is the home of the Visual Studio extension "Error Watcher".

Download from the VS Gallery or get the nightly build.

Note: For a version that works in VS 2015 and newer, get the Error Catcher II

Sometimes it can be hard to tell if the file you're editing contains errors. Perhaps the error is all the way to the bottom of the file and you don't notice it. You might save the file containing the error and something bad happens when you then try to run your application.

Error watcher

Here's how it works:

  1. Displays errors at the top right corner of the editor
  2. Displays both the number of Errors, Warnings and Messages
  3. Flashes quickly if the file contains Errors when you save the file
  4. Click on the in-editor error list to open the Visual Studio Error List
