Visual Studio 2012: "Live Error List" - how to turn it off?

Question

While I edit C# code in Visual Studio 2012, the "Error List" window continually updates with a list of current syntax errors etc. I find this very distracting and would like to turn it off.

Does anyone know how to turn it off?

(I don't really know what this VS feature is properly called, so someone might already have answered it... Apologies if this is the case.)

Answer 1

You can try with based on : General and deselecting the "Always show Error List if build finishes with errors"

Tools -->Options--> Projects and Solutions --> General and deselecting the "Always show Error List if build finishes with errors".

Answer 2

I usually unpin it (with the pin icon in its top right corner), and call it up when I want to see it by moving the mouse onto its title. Once you compile your project, the window will automatically come up if there are any errors.
