Run active project in Visual Studio 2010

Question

Is there a shortcut to run a project in my solution without setting it (set as startup project) and instead correlate it with the active file?

I mean run a project whose file is active, but I don't want it to be the default. It should be a different shortcut than F10 , because I'm mainly talking about debugging!

Answer 1

You could set this in the properties of the solution:

Answer 2

I don't know of a way to do exactly what you ask, but you can run any project:

• right-click the project in Solution Explorer
• Debug > Start new instance

It doesn't have to be the Start-up project.
