What's the best way to manage multiple websites within a single solution in Visual Studio

Question

I often create several sub domains of a web project, such as blog.domain.com, www.domain.com and example.domain.com. Typically I set these projects up within a single solution, along with any common class libraries, and assign each a static port number. To view a specific site I right click a file in the solution explorer and "View in browser".

I'm working on a project with multiple MVC2 projects under VS 2010. I seem to have lost the ability to "View in browser" from the context menu of a file, so I need to use the Set as start up project for a specific site, then Ctrl F5 to view a site. Workable but frustrating.

Is there a better way to manage multiple common sections of a site as different sites, or reason I can no longer see "View in browser" from the context menu?

Answer 1

I've just discovered "Multiple Startup Projects" under the properties of the solution. Not an ideal fix, but it saves me switching start up projects. It opens a Development Server for each project, and loads each site into a separate browser window when I ctrl F5.
