debugging compiles all sub-sprojects, how to stop

[Anonymous]

I notice that is I have multiple sub projects under a solution, attempting to debug/deploy one of them results in a compilation of every one of them, not just the one marked “set as startup project.”

This is a bit of a problem in that you may have multiple projects, some of which are not in a compilable state.

How can things be set such that you are only compiling or acting on the sub-project designated as “the startup project”?

Hi,
Please go to Visual Studio Configuration Manger (click on the debug/release switch on the toolbar) and remove the “build” flag for the projects you don’t want to build.
Note that you can create as many solution configurations as you want all having different project sets enabled.

You can also configure Visual Studio to prompt before auto-building the projects when you start debugging.
