I am working in a solution with about 30 projects.
All projects are build for 1 specific customer(hence the same solution) but not all of them depend on each other.
We have for example a back-end API, a front-end API, 2 websites, a few services etc.

The problem i have is that everytime i start to debug 1 of those projects, visual studio boots up 9 ASP.NET development servers(1 for each website/service).

Even projects that are not being referenced or are excluded from the current build configuration are being booted up.
Does anyone know of a way to stop this from happening? My main frustration about this is the extra time it takes to boot these services up.

Thanks in advance

    Question has been asked before, take a look here:

    Visual Studio solution with multiple ASP.NET web applications

    To be complete I’ll include the answer here as well.

    At the website (or project) level, set “Always Start when Debugging” =
    false (the default, as shown in my screenshot, is true.)

    enter image description here

    Or you can also choose to setup IIS Express and use that web server instead of the Visual Studio Web Development Server.
