Let’s say that there is a solution that contains two projects (Project1 and Project2).
Project1 is set as a StartUp Project (its name is displayed in a bold font). I double-click some file in Project2 to open it. The file opens, but something else happens too – Project2 gets set as a StartUp Project.
I tried to find an option in configuration to change it, but I found none.
Can this feature (though it’s more like a bug to me) be disabled?
The way to select a startup project is described in Sara Ford’s blog ‘Visual Studio Tip of the Day‘ (highly recommended). She has a post there about setting up StartUp projects. Essentially there are 2 ways, the easiest one being right-clicking on the desired project, and choosing ‘Set As StartUp Project’. That prevents other projects from becoming the StartUp project, even if you click on one their files.
