vs general question compiling and running 2 apps at same time

[Tom]

hi friends

I have 3 projects under one solution I want to be able to compile and run
(debug) all 3 solutions at once is that possible within vs ? its a
client/server based application that I am developing and I'm tired of
switching between server and client all the time to start it up one by one.

thanks
Tom

Well, you can have the same solution open multiple times (with multiple
copies of VS.NET running) - although it's a bit of a pain as it keeps
asking you whether you want to reload files.

Alternatively, you could try putting each project into its own solution
as well as into one "master" solution. I don't *think* there's anything
to stop a project from being in more than one solution, although I
haven't tried it myself.

You might want to try asking in microsoft.public.vstudio.general too.

Its simpler to go to the solution properties and select the "multiple startup projects" option button. Then you can specify how you want the projects to run (with debugger, without, not at all) and also which order you want them started.

Oh you star - that's likely to make things a lot easier for me than the
complicated options we'd been considering before :)
