How do I set my development web browser in VS2010 RC?
browser, debugging, settings, visual-studio, visual-studio-2010
Solution
This is for VS2008, but should apply just as well to VS2010.
You have several options.
Go to the web project properties to the "web" tab.
Option 1:
- Under "Start Action", select "Start External Program" and set the path to your browser of choice, pass the URL in through the command line parameters
Option 2:
- Setup your machine to use your browser of choice as the default browser.
- Under "Start Action", select "Start URL". This will invoke the default browser.
Problem
I don't like to use IE for my system default web browser. but I do want to set IE as my browser in VS2010 because it works a little nicer for debugging and I like to develop to the lowest common denominator. (jab, lol)... anyhow, can I default to debugging against IE? I know in VS2008 you just had to "Browse With..." on an .aspx page. But that option doesn't exist in VS2010 RC. What gives?
