Limit Amount of Compile Errors before abandoning the Build

Hello All,

I've got a project I am working on that has a very large amount of errors. I'm running into an issue as I am taking care of errors and rebuilding it is taking too long to show me the remaining errors.

I'm looking for an option in Visual Studio that will allow me to limit the amount of errors shown before the build is abandoned. I have so far been unsuccessful and was wondering if anyone here knew of this option or where it is located

Thanks,
Jeff

    I'm not aware of anyway to do this (this doesn't mean there isn't a way), however, you could try excluding all your classes/code files and then individually include them one by one, building each time.

    Hi, I don't think you could automagically make it stop building, but you can manually abandon the build by hitting Ctrl-Break Wink

    Jeff,

    I was having the same problem on an app we are working on currently. The only thing i could find that did help a little is to compile projects in a solution independantly. But i have a feeling you're already doing that.

    I haven't yet seen an option to stop compiling after a set amount of errors.
