To specify Startup Program in Visual C# Express Edition 2008

Question

I usually do the following at office - Set the startup program for the project to System32\dllhost.exe, and set the command line arguments for the startup program accordingly. This used to work perfectly fine, because I was running Visual Studio 2008. However, one of my developers use C# Express Edition and they need to do a similar thing. We are not sure, where to set this or how to do it?

Please suggest how to do this or point us in the right directions.

Answer 1

In the CSProj file, under the PropertyGroup tag, you will have the following tags. Add the appropriate details, and you should be good to go.

<StartAction>Program</StartAction>
<StartArguments>/ProcessId:{C401EBE5-70E8-4AB6-935A-F0589EA01004}</StartArguments>
<StartPage>
</StartPage>
<StartProgram>C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllhost.exe</StartProgram>
<StartURL>
</StartURL>
<StartWorkingDirectory>
</StartWorkingDirectory>
<StartWithIE>true</StartWithIE>

How I did it -

1. Looked at each file in my system, which was built with VS2008.
2. In the CSProj file, I had the following details, I copy pasted the same onto the developer's PC and it worked.
