run project from another

[kleinma]

I am working on a solution that has 2 seperate exes in it. The main one, and then a secondary, and they communicate.

I am looking for the way that you run both at the same time. They are both open in the same instance of the IDE because like I said they are both part of a single sln file.

found it.

you can right click on each app in the solution explorer and go to debug -> start new instance

you can do this for each app and it will run them both

I found an easier way (since the way in the above post gets annoying after many stop/restarts) OHHH HOW I LONG FOR EDIT AND CONTINUE IN 05!!!!

anyways... you can go into the solution properties, and under Common Properties -> Startup Project, you can opt to have multiple startup projects just set whatever apps you want to startup in there... but they HAVE to be part of the current solution for them to show up. (this is great for client server apps)

Is it possible to make one project appear as a MDI child form ?
