Choosing the Startup Project

The startup project is the project in a Visual Studio solution that starts when you choose an execution command such as Start from the Debug menu.

To choose a startup project

• In Solution Explorer, right-click a project name and choose Set as StartUp Project from the shortcut menu.
• If you want to debug more than one project, you can choose multiple startup projects.

To choose multiple startup projects

1. In Solution Explorer, right-click the solution name and choose Set StartUp Projects from the shortcut menu.

   The Property Pages dialog box appears.

2. In the Property Pages dialog box, select Multiple Startup Projects.
3. Below Multiple Startup Projects is a grid with two columns, Project and Action. For each project you want to debug, click on the Action column and select Start. For projects you do not want to debug, the Action column should say None.
4. Click OK.

Note   You can use the Start without debugging command (on the Debug menu) to start execution of a project without the debugger.
