Set the start-up project

- [Instructor] Before we get to the concept of debugging the application, let's look at the idea of the startup project. When you open a solution that has more than one project, like this one has a DebugConsole and a DebugWph application, by default, only one of these can be what's known as the startup project. This is the one in bold, so the DebugConsole is the startup project. That's means that if I go to debug and choose start debugging, it will debug this application. You can switch to another project by right clicking and choosing set a startup project. Now you see the bold is on DebugWpf, and then means when I go to debug, start debugging, it will debug the other project. Now, this is important because as you go through the course and you open different projects, you may have a different startup project than the one I'm using in the example.
