I'm not familiar with how VB.NET interacts with Visual Studio. Can you turn off background compilation?

>In a process of converting from VFP code into a VB.NET syntax, I paste all the VFP code as is and convert it line by line. So, when I do that, usually at first I end up with more than 102 errors. So, the count stays at 102 errors until I approach the end of the conversion where I can see that the count is diminishing, representing the end of the conversion.

It doesn't affect the other instances of the Visual Studio design environments. But, it seems that if you have too much errors in pending, something becomes sensitive in the environment and is likely to cause this situation.
