            if you go to my grabbag site there is a document for setting the VS 
IDE interface for better usability, and I will attempt to round up my assorted 
VS notes, try to cut out the duplicates and put them up there as well, although 
there totally unedited my file names usually tell you what the main thing in 
the document is, somewhere in it!

              Hi Brian:
              That is the Output Window that holds the Error Window stuff. You 
can never get rid of it totally from my experience but you can reduce it's 
impact on your work by doing a few things.
              The options you want to play with are in the Options TreeView for 
the IDE.
              You get there from the Menu Bar:
              Tools>Options: Hit enter:
              The Options TreeView comes up and you can up or down cursor tto 
get on a tabbable item then,
              Tab and make sure Show All Settings checkbox is checked.
              Tab back to the list of Tabbed Items and,
              Under TextEditor:
              Under VB specific:
              Tab and uncheck auto insert of end constructs, pretty listing, 
enable auto error correction Suggestions.
              Then tab and click OK or continue to set the options for CSharp,
              Under the CSharp:
              Under Advanced:
              Underline Errors In the Editor, show live symantic errors, 
perhaps the others. 
              Also, 
              Under Intellisense:
              Set the appropriate options for how you want it to work.
              When done you tab and hit ok on any Tabbed item and all the 
changes will be applied. You also should have made other changes to the IDE to 
make it more Screen Reader friendly and set each and every window you encounter 
to a Tabbed Document if you use that approach. 
              It has been a long time since I played with the IDE settings, I 
have them set the way I like them using Windoweyes and I did not set the CSharp 
options since I do not use CSharp anymore.
              You should do the following:
              Make a change to one or two of the settings at a time. Record the 
change in a text document so you can note what it does as you continue working 
and, or set everything back if you want to later. 
              Keep results of each change in the text document for a reference 
as to what each setting did when changed. 
              Send me the text document when done so I can add the results to 
my docs for other users downline. 
              I do not think you will ever totally get rid of the Output Window 
but you should be able to work-around it pretty well. I think there are some 
other settings that might help but these are the ones I remember by taking a 
quick peek at my settings in Visual Web Developer.

                hi all,

                So who had two days in the pool of when will he ask about the 
irritating code window?
                using vb.net 2008 express:
                i thought i had it beat by reclassing it to multi line edit and 
that is a start but you can't code one f'n letter wrong or complete a line 
before the error alert pops up.
                so how can you get any coding done and how you move up/down the 
list of options after you type a period like txtUserName.xxxxx?
