一个Visual Studio解决方案中是否可以有两个不同类型的项目（即，桌面项目和Web项目）？

Question

Let's say I have two C# projects: A and B.

• A is a desktop project (Windows Forms Application)
• B a REST service project (asp.net Web-API).

I put them both in a single visual studio professional 2013 solution.

However, though B smoothly runs on the web server (IIS-express), I cannot run A because visual studio seems to assume it's also a web application and only offers me to run it on IIS-express (though this project has program.cs class which brings in a static void main(...){} method).

Two questions:

1. Can you put two projects of different nature (a desktop project and a web project) in the same solution?

2. Shouldn't visual studio automatically realize A is a desktop project?

Answer 1

For sure you can have 2 projects from different types in one solution ( this is what the solution is made for).

And you should be able to run your A project regardless of B ..

Right click on the project => Debug => Start New Instance
