I've been trying to use a browser other than IE in VS.NET with no success.
The default browser on my PC is Firefox, and it is also the default browser
for opening web documents from the Solution Explorer in VS.NET. But when I
click the Play button or hit F5, it is still IE that is being launched. Is
there a way ? A registry key somewhere ??...or something obvious that I
didn't see...or maybe it's illegal to do it ? ;-)

In the Solution Explorer, right-click the file you want
to browse with Firefox, and choose "Browse with".
In the dialog, navigate to wherever Firefox.exe is installed
in your computer, and add it to the list of browsers.
If you want to make it the default browser, do that.
Nothing "illegal" about doing that.

Thanks Juan.
Well, like I said, this works indeed, but I would like to use the Play
button to launch my app with Firefox, instead of having to locate my
"default.as px" file in the Solution Explorer, then right-clicking it, then
choosing "Browse with". Of course it works, but I really would like to save
those steps. Am I right if I say that the command "Set as start page" was
probably meant for choosing a page to be run when we click the Play

you're right.
Finally, I found that launching Firefox with F5 works, but only in Release
mode, not in Debug mode.

You don't have to use "Browse with" after
setting Firefox as the default browser.
When you use F5 ( the attached triangle, "debug.jpg" , button )
the whole project needs to be compiled.
Why would you want to do that,
if you're only testing one page ?
You can, also, hit the "View in Browser" icon
( attached "ViewinBrowserI con.jpg" )
You'll be able to navigate anywhere in your site that way.
In any case, you've got a workaround
which requires little effort... ;-)

Answer to myself and to anyone interested,
When in Debug mode, by default VS.NET uses Internet Explorer. This is an
option found in Project Properties.
Go "Configurat ion Properties", "Debugging" , "Start Options", "Always Use
Internet Explorer".
When set to false, the VS.NET debugger will use the default browser for
VS.NET, not the machine's default browser.

OK, now how do where can we set the default browser for VS.NET? :-)
Honestly, I've been looking for a while, and I don't see it.
Of course as soon as I responded, I found the answer. For some reason,
they decided to put this option on the File menu, rather than putting
it in with the rest of the options in Tools >> Options. (WHY???)
Go to File >> Browser With... and there you will be able to set the
default browser for VS.NET to whatever you want. Argh.

I'm currently trying to arrange things so that they look the same for IE and Firefox. Right now I'd love to test things in Firefox and then go back and tweak things in IE. My annoyance is that I have to publish my site every time I make a change in order to view it in FireFox. This is a very time consuming process.
I was wondering if anyone knew if there is a way to set Visual Studio 2005 to debug using a browser other than IE?
