The project, I work on, consists of several executables which run in background and a frontend. I develop in Visual Studio 2005. Often I need to run one background app with breakpoints enabled and then control it from the frontend. I set the important background app as a startup project and press F5. Then I start the frontend and the other background apps by “Start new Instance”. A lot of clicking.

Is there a better way?

    Visual Studio lets you start multiple projects when you hit F5. See How to: Set Multiple Startup Projects

    In a nutshell:

    • In Solution Explorer, select the solution.
    • On the Project menu, click Properties. The Solution Property Pages Dialog Box opens.
    • Expand the Common Properties node, and click Startup Project.
    • Click Multiple Startup Projects and set the project actions.
