When working with an XML file that has a grammar attached to it in design mode, if the XML that is being entered has errors in it, the locations aren't marked unless you switch to source view. It would be helpful for those users that aren't comfortable with working at the tag level, to be able to know that the XML isn't valid according to the schema, the same way as users of the source editor know. The same would be nice for all the design views.
Nitind: If in design view, could we have the Problems view be shown if there are validation problems. This is assuming that if a grammar is associated with the xml instance, and they are in design view, that real time validation is still occuring after they enter an element. Also, it would be nice to mark the xml instance with an error marker so that the editor tab gets the error overlay added to it as well. This would allow for some visual indication in Design mode that there is an error.
