title: How to enable error highlighting in visual c++ express 2008/2010?
body: <p>Does visual studio really not come with basic syntax checker? I've got both 2008 and 2010 and they won't show me <em>any</em> error, like missing semicolons or unmatched brackets</p>
  
  <p>The closest advice I've found is to enable tools -> options -> text editor -> C/C++ -> Advanced -> Underline Errors in the editor, which doesn't exist</p>
