When I'm writing code, and i purposely write a syntax error like:

Console.WriteLine(;

Visual Studio doesn't show me the red squiggle Intellisense errors.

But when i start the program it shows the error. That's not how it should work.

Any ideas on what to do?

Which IDE do you use? What is your IDE configuration? – Fka May 30 '16 at 08:37

Do you see the little red underline squiggles beneath the above line? Check VS Options to ensure _Intellisense_ is not disabled. – May 30 '16 at 08:37
@MickyD no it doesnt show that, thats the problem – Devid Demetz May 30 '16 at 08:38
@Fka im using Visual Studio – Devid Demetz May 30 '16 at 08:39
if you use VS - might need to reinstall it. It should produce little red underline – Vladimir May 30 '16 at 08:39
If it is Visual Studio **2015**, probably you need to clear cache or even reinstall it. Sometimes, restart helps, but it isn't guaranteed. – Fka May 30 '16 at 08:41
Ill reinstall it then – Devid Demetz May 30 '16 at 08:42

Before you go off and re-install, just try to _[reset VS settings](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241273.aspx)_ first. There are a few other ways to reset VS on SO too – May 30 '16 at 08:42
Do you mean it will run? Or when you press f5 it will show error and it doesn't run? – mohsen May 30 '16 at 08:46
@MickyD i tryed to [Reset all Options](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/267843/visual-studio-editor-does-not-underline-errors-anymore) and it works now. Thanks – Devid Demetz May 30 '16 at 08:48
Sweet. Always good to know as VS takes ages to install, particularly 2015 – May 30 '16 at 08:50
