Make Visual Studio stop on the first error and highlight the line it occurs on?

[Josh]

Is there any way to do this?

Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> Always show Error List if build finishes with errors.

Then press F4, or doubleclick on the first error.

On the build output, I just double click on any entry that says error, and it jumps to the line in question. It doesn't highlight the part of the line that's causing the problem though. But usually, on reading the error message you'll spot the problem almost instantly
