Tragedy of Visual Studio

Hello all,

Since VS2015 a new bug was introduced which still exists in 17.6.5:

errors

Once I open my projects (made with VS .net 2010/2013) the error list shows up for very few seconds and then disappear permanently, error count will be 0, compile will fail, and although build log will tell you which form/module has error(s) but won't tell you about the line number, how am I supposed to find which line has the error?

Searching online reveals that this issue was reported many times but still not fixed although they said it is!

I use VS 2010 pro to build and write my apps cause it has the best ever editor in Visual Studio history, I use VS 2013 pro just to compile my final builds and wanna switch to VS 2022 just for compile.

Let me see, how do you visually find the scroll bar grip in this mess?

scroll

Thanks :)

    did the project successful upgrade to vs 2022?

    if its a vs2010/vs2013 project, then the language, framework, and probably the nuget packages are out of support. these should all be updated to current supported versions.

    To work around the issue and view the errors in Error List, try selecting “Build Only” instead of “Build + IntelliSense”.
