Visual Studio: Where does it store "Set as startup project" ?

Question

Let's say a single solution (.sln) has 2 (.vcproj) named Proj1 and Proj2. By default, Visual Studio assigned Proj1 to be my startup project.

I set Proj2 to be my desired startup project.

Then I commit everything to my repository (excluding .suo).

I re-check out, and Proj1 is still the default startup project.

Does this mean Visual Studio store the startup information in the .suo file? But I dont want to commit that (?) since it's a user-specific file?

Or am I doing something wrong?

Note: I use Visual Studio 2008

Answer 1

Yes, it gets stored in the .SUO.

Although this can be an issue if you're often checking out branches or deleting your trunk workspace and checking it out again, it only takes a second to set it, so hopefully it's not too big an issue. You should definitely keep the .suo files out of the repository if you can.

Answer 2

Yes, it is stored in the .suo file.

Here's a similar post explaining why.

Answer 3

Yes, it is .suo file, and yes it is a user-specific file: it is really what do you like to do for your current project debug. I think it is possible for different developer in the team who want to have different settings on this.
