How to abort VS solution build when project build fails

On bigger projects one of the most irritating bits about Visual Studio .Net is it's 'carry on regardless' approach to multiple project compilation. A project fails, so instead of halting so you can fix it, you get a zillion build errors in all the other projects that reference it. This just slows down the build-fix cycle, not least because the 'root cause' error is drowned out in noise (the Task List window is useless in this regard, one has to find the first instance of the word 'Error' in the build output, and work from there).

There's a simple macro fix for this, terminate the build after the first error, however every time I move machine I forget where to find it (it strangely eludes my google-fu). So here it is:

Private Sub BuildEvents_OnBuildProjConfigDone( _
  ByVal Project As String, _
  ByVal ProjectConfig As String, _
  ByVal Platform As String, _
  ByVal SolutionConfig As String, _
  ByVal Success As Boolean) Handles _
  BuildEvents.OnBuildProjConfigDone

  If Success = False Then
     DTE.ExecuteCommand("Build.Cancel", "")
     Dim win As Window = DTE.Windows.Item(EnvDTE.Constants.vsWindowKindOutput)
     Dim OW As OutputWindow = CType(win.Object, OutputWindow)
     OW.OutputWindowPanes.Item( _
        "Build").OutputString( _
        "ERROR IN " & Project & _
        " Build Stopped" & _
        System.Environment.NewLine)
  End If
End Sub

Why this isn't in the IDE from the get go amazes me. Did no-one at Microsoft ever write a multi-project solution in VS.Net?

Incidentally why is there no upward limit on the errors reported even within a project? One project I worked on had one massive code-gen'd file. When this broke, there could be upwards of 10,000's of build errors generated, which totally locked up the IDE for 5 minutes at a time. It wasn't responsive enough to manually Cancel Build, so you'd have to sit it out. I emailed the VS team lead (literally years ago) and his response was something like 'what a good idea'. So where's the fix?
