There are two ways you can select a project as the startup project when you have more than one project in your solution.

The first way is via the Solution Property pages. Right-click the solution node in the Solution Explorer, and under Common Properties–Startup Project, you can choose Single Startup Project. Now you can select which project you want.

The second way is to right-click the project and select the Set As StartUp Project command from the context menu.

The startup project appears in bold in the Solution Explorer.
