About F5 "Debugging" for this solution #256

Closed Chener closed 11 years ago

Chener commented 11 years ago

Hi, I am recently digging into the code, and I need to active "debug" function in Visual Studio. As there are no executable projects within this solution, so I get this prompt: “A project with an Output type of Class Library cannot be started directly” I googled a bit and found there are three possible ways to solve this:

  1. Create a console application and reference the class library. Then 'use' its contents
  2. Debug an unit-test project
  3. Start existing client projec

So Which way should I choose? Can the SteamBot.exe generated be any useful here?

Set ExampleBot as the Startup Project. Right click it, set as startup project.

@waylaidwanderer THX a million! Btw, why in this solution, why protobuf-net was set as the Startup Project? and does this have anything to do with the build order?

Probably just a mistake by whoever last made a change to SteamBot

I think this may be a per-user setting and Visual Studio will pick one if you don't have it setup.
