Does any one know how to set the startup project in Expression Blend 2? I have a solution which builds 2 executable files. I've set the Startup Project to the one I want to debug in Visual Studio and when I run it from VS that project launches no problem. However if I open the solution in Blend and press F5 to run it the other project always launches.

There doesn't seem to be a way of setting the Startup project in Blend, and it does seem to respect the setting in Visual Studio. Or am I missing something?

Why does Blend always launch the other project and is there anyway I can change this?

Thanks

A: 

In the project explorer (Blend), right-click the project name within the solution and make sure 'Startup Project' is checked.

I've only got Blend 3 RC to check on at the moment but I'm pretty sure this was also in Blend 2.

Yes, that would be the logical thing to do, but alas that option is not there in Blend 2. Could it be that Blend 2 doesn't allow you to set it? But even then what is making it always choose the other project?

Ok, I see. Turns out that the feature was added with SP1 and I didn't have that installed. Installed that, now my solution launches properly
