Visual Studio: quickly find build error in source

Question

My programming workflow often involves sequences like this:

• build
• look at error list
• double click top error
• fix the error

Often though I have several editor windows open and it can take me a while to find the rather camouflaged icon in the indicator margin. Sometimes it's even out of sight behind the error window.

Is there any way I can highlight the current error line in the source code so that I can find it more quickly?

Answer 1

Are you using resharper?

If not try and take a look at it, as far as i remember it allows you to customize how errors are displayed.

Answer 2

Pressing F8 in Visual studio take you to the errors
