Where are the settings for multiple startup projects on a solution stored?

Question

I've got a Visual Studio solution containing a couple of console app projects, and used the solution property pages to launch both of them when debugging. For some reason, this setting isn't saved in source control so when I check out the solution on a different computer it has to be set up over again.

Where is this info stored and how can I add it to version control?

Answer 1

I believe it is in the Visual Studio User Solution User Options file *.suo. This file is hidden by default. Most source control providers ignore this file by default because it stores location specific paths.

Answer 2

You can install the SwitchStartupProject extension. This will create a file called YourSolution.startup.suo containing the startup projects, which you can check into source control.
