Stops a solution build immediately after a project has failed to build

Introduction

When working with a large project or solution, build time could take very long to complete. Once it completes, the list of errors and warnings could have hundreds of items.

There's a free extension in Visual Studio that could help you save build time and identify one build error at a time:

StopOnFirstBuildError

Screenshot

Early cancellation of the build and revealing the very first error allows you to tackle one error at a time (which is often the most important one) and saves you the wait of the long build.

Thanks for reading.
