Visual Studio Error List is hidden

I am using Visual studio 2008 and for some reason when I started today my code is not compiling. I am ge开发者_开发百科tting the standard 'Build Failed' message but the Error List is not showing. when I select Error List from the View menu nothing happens.

The output window shows up fine and so does the to do window.

Has anyone seen this before?

Window > Reset Window Layout

That's a new one for me.

Go to Tools > Import and Export Settings and export all your settings to a file for safe keeping.

Then go in there again and reset everything. Report back if that helped. If it did, try importing your settings again to see what happens.

Just Type:

CTRL+\+E

(without the + sign)

In my case VS2015 was finding errors but wasn't displaying what are the errors, basically Error List tab was empty. But checking Output tab i found errors and clicking on them opened up the file which had errors, also errors started to show up in Error List tab as well afterwards.
