First of all, I have a "Solution" which contains several "Projects". In the good old days of VC6, to make one the Projects the one that executes when you hit F5, all you did was set it as the "Current Project." With the crappy new IDE, the only way I can see to do this is to right-click on the Project in the "Solution Explorer" window, and then choose the "Debug, Start New Instance" menu item. If there's a less annoying way, I'd love to hear about it.
Anyway, the VAX bug is, whenever I use the above-mentioned menu item, VAX's "Syntax Coloring" disappears. I have to go into the "VAX Options" dialog, select the "Fonts and Colors" tab, and check the "Enhance Syntax Coloring" checkbox, which has magically gotten unchecked.
Have I mention today that the .NET IDE is a piece of crap compared to the VC6 version? Hell, 1,52 was easier to work with than this...  |

You have to simply right-click your desired project, and select "Set as starting project" (using the German Version, it says "Als Startprojekt festlegen").
It is the option just above the "Debug" Submenu-entry...
Then you can press F5 and everytime the chosen project is started...

Nope, nope, nope. As I said, that's how it *used* in work in VC6, but that does *not* work in /NET 2003 - at least not for me.
Are you saying that *does* work for you? |

| Setting a project as the startup project and hitting F5 to run it does work for me in .NET 2003. What error are you getting? |

No error, it just runs another project, one that is not set as the "Starting Project".
This Solution was imported from VC6, so probably it's a bug in the way the DSW/DSP files were converted to SLN/VCPROJ files. Now that I know that it's supposed to work the way it used to, I can at least have a place to start debugging it - thanks.
As far as the VAX coloring bug goes, is anyone else having this issue when the do the same thing I do (that is, don't hit F5, do it the way I'm forced to do it)?

| Actually it turned out to be much worse. My syntax coloring went away so I tried to restart VS.NET to get it back. When I restarted VS.NET my windows were all messed up, my output window was at max. When I closed output window my VS instance just hung forever. Then I reopened VS and my windows are all hosed and I had to reset them. I'm not trying that again. |

You mean changing the "Startup"-Project by doing what I described?
Yep, works here, on VS .NET 2002 and 2003!
But, and that might be a clue, I didn't convert a VS 6.0 Project... All my "multiple-projects"-Solutions are created in VS .NET 2002 or 2003... |

And if files aren't colored before, they become colored when starting the debugger. It works both ways. |

Wow, so it's toggling that checkbox... sounds like someone renumbered their resource.h file?  |

Just as a followup, F5 now works for me as it should. I must have opened and saved the sln file enough times, or some such magic.
The coloring bug is still there, though. |

Just to confirm here, yes it is in fact toggling the check box. When I check the options and my file is uncolored, the check box is cleared and all the options grayed out. |
