Visual Studio not displaying compile time errors in editor

You need to turn on the underline errors in the editor and show live semantic errors options in Visual Studio.

These options can be found here:

Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# > Advanced > Editor Help

Edit: You will need to install SP1 for this functionality to work.
