Don't start ASP.NET Development Server when running non-web projects

Question

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?

Answer 1

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.
