Syntax checking for Visual Studio 2008

Is it possible? For instance, if I type 

std::cout << "cool"

without the semicolon are there any vis studio plugins which will catch that (the way eclipse does) or similar syntactical errors and show me the error visually?

FYI, Visual Studio 2010 does this by default. The offending code is underlined, and when you hover over it, the IDE tells you what's wrong. eg. for the following:

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    std::cout << "cool"
}

I get the closing brace underlined and the message is "Error: expected a ;"

You can try VisualAssistX, which enables a more sophisticated intellitype system than the standard VC.
