Benug Meeting + Debugging Tip

Last friday I attended an event of the Belgian .NET User Group (Benug) about service-oriented architectures in .NET. The presenter was Peter Himschoot (replacing his colleague Patrick Tisseghem) who did a very good job. The session was spit into a theoretical part and a hands-on workshop.

On tip Peter showed us, I would like to share: “Set StartUp Projects ...”. I guess everybody knows how to set a StartUp Project in a Visual Studio.NET solution; just right click on the project item in the Solution Explorer and choose “Set as StartUp Project”. But you can start and debug multiple projects at the same time! If you right click on the Solution Item instead of the Project Item, and then click “Set StartUp Projects...” you can choose between “Singe StartUp Project” and “Multiple StartUp Projects”. For the second choice you can select the Projects of your Solution you want to start when you hit the F5 or Start button. This is very useful for debugging multi-tier projects. Thanks Peter!
