in VS2008 it was easier to view the error list but in VS2010 it is writing all the errors and warnings and these other messages like debug info,... all in debug window. so sometimes I even have to do a search in debug window on the word error to find the line of error in this window..but in VS2008 they were separate and in a nice spread sheet look and feel .. is there a setting somewhere I can use to make it more similar to what it was in VS2008?
I am using VS2010 Pro with SP1
Are you viewing the Output window instead of the Error List?
Ctrl+E,W or View->Error List to see the Error List window.

Essentially, I encounter the same problem as the question below, except that the accepted answer does not resolve it. I have neither warnings nor errors in the Error List:
See complete tooltip error message for Data Flow SSIS element in Visual Studio
Similar to the question noted above I can see a truncated warning message on the Data Flow design surface.
However, no corresponding warning is visible in Visual Studio's Error List view.
How can I view the entire warning?
This is a bit misleading from Visual Studio and could have been handled better. The long and the short of it is that the Error List window lists only messages that are related to build issues.
The warnings and errors that you see in design time are related to the execution flow. In other words, a package can be built correctly but is designed in such a way that it will generate an error. For more reading:
MSDN: Cannot see errors or warnings in SSIS - why ?
SQLServerCentral: Cannot see errors or warnings in SSIS – why ?
You will need to run the package in debug mode and then go to the Progress window. From there, you can see all messages (e.g., information, warnings, errors, etc.). Some messages may be so long that they cannot be seen. For those messages, you can click on them and paste them into your favorite text editor.
Note: when you stop debugging, the Progress window changes its name to Execution Results and the error List window becomes available.
Update
Per Hadi's follow-up comment, I was initially able to re-create the OPs problem by just modifying an existing package to create the warning message. I then built and ran the project with without receiving any error messages.
Now, after having left the office and shutting down Visual Studio, I am unable to recreate the error. The Error List window now populates with the messages. I tried building a new package from scratch without any luck either. My best recommendation at this point would be to, as with all Microsoft products, restart the application if it is not working as it should be.
This text truncation issue/bug is not just tooltips.
It's in SSIS Toolbox (description box at bottom) - no way to see the entire text describing the task/component (if not too big you can increase the width of the pane but that is not really acceptable).
(VS/SSDT 2019)
Many things to try
Try to change the combobox selected value from Build + Intellisense to Build only
Open and close the OLEDB Source by double clicking on it, since you tried to build the package the warnings disappears from the Error List, you must revalidate the component to show them
Try to update the Visual Studio 2017 to the latest release
I am using Visual Studio 2010, and because of the amount of debug output I'm producing, and the difficulty of finding the beginning of the output for a new run, I have been manually using the Debug "Clear All" action (from the mouse right-click popup menu on the Debug output window). Plus I have to put some kind of break or dialog box in the beginning, just so I have a chance to do this before the debug output gets going.
Well after a couple of thousand times, this is getting very, very old (seriously, because its come up in almost every programming project I've done in the last five years). But I cannot seem to find any option or simple Debug.{method} to do this automatically for me.
This has been bugging me forever, and though its a simple question, I have never found an easy answer (short of writing my own listener) in any version of the .net VS IDE's.
Anyone know how to do this or have any ideas? thnx..
Right click the middle of the output window and turn off all but Program Output
What I do in cases like this is to use Debug View but to see the debug output in Debug view you need to detach the process from you visual studio debugger. You can do that through the Debug->Processes window.
What debug view provides is extra highlighting and coloring of different kind of debug output so that the relevant things are easily recognizable. Furthermore, you can stop receiving debug output by simply hitting a key on its toolbar.
I know that this might not answer your question but this at least gives you an option to do it otherwise.
I 'm working with Visual Studio 10, my project is with monorail and I get a lot of error on my ".vm" files, those errors are not pertinent, and I don't want to see them anymore is there a way.
I tagged this ask with castle monorail, because I guess some users could have the same problem. But I'm sure it's a problem more general.
I get the same problem sometime with aspx or xslt visual studio check the file's validity ( with the own rules) and report the errors in the error list
New Answer:
Unfortunately, these errors are emitted by CVSI, and can be ignored - I agree they're a bit annoying. I've found that they go away if I re-open the solution. Not a great answer, but it's the only one I've found that works.
Previous Answer:
Are these errors ObjectDisposedExceptions?
What are your settings WRT exception handling in VS.NET? Go to Debug -> Exceptions in the menu. If there's a check in the "Thrown" column, then you need to open that up and then find System.ObjectDisposedException and then deselect it.
If you're looking to still break on deselected exceptions which are thrown elsewhere, you're out of luck, as this isn't currently supported by VS.NET.
I'm having a hard time to quickly fix syntax errors with Visual Studio 2010 because usually the build output consists of lots and lots of warnings and maybe one or two error messages. The errors are hidden like the proverbial needle in the haystack.
Now I don't want to ignore the warnings, but the errors are more important. Is there a setting/method/trick/... in Visual Studio 2010 to filter only the error messages from the build output? Perhaps one can sort the build output according to warnings an errors. If so, how?
It's all in the image... essentially, click on the type of messages you want to view/hide in the Errors list to toggle them from visible to hidden and back again...
I believe there is a setting (or combination of settings) in Visual Studio that allow you to see in the Immediate Window (or Output Window, I can't remember which), the timestamp and name of an assembly as it is loaded while debugging. I used to have this switched on as it is very useful for finding performance issue areas. Sadly however, when VS recently decided to undock all my windows for no good reason, I had to reset my VS settings and have now lost this.
I can't find for the life of me which setting it was that I had switched on.
Any help appreciated.
Apart from reading Debug output messages in Output window, you can also use Modules Window (at least in Visual Studio 2013) which gives you a nice searchable list of loaded modules with various additional details:
Debug -> Windows -> Modules
In the Output window, change the "Show output from" combo to Debug if necessary. Right-click the window and tick "Module load messages". And any others you might want to see.
