I have a solution with a few projects in it, one of which is a web site. When I run one of the non-web projects (e.g. a console app), the ASP.NET Development Server starts up anyway.
I’m sure there was an option for this somewhere – how do I make the ASP.NET Development Server start only if I am running the web project?
Yes, if you select the project, there is a start when debugging option (or similarly named) in the project properties window in VS; setting this to false disables this.
HTH.
