Upload if Arduino sketch isn't startup project?

I am using my Due to test an embedded system I'm making. Part of that is to create a desktop app to read/write the information it gets from the arduino which I'm using bootstrap to do. I have got info from arduino to the app working, but every time I want to update the arduino I need to change which project is the 'startup project' then run it. Is there another way to do that like just right click upload? Doesn't seem to be. Minor inconvenience, but just curious if I'm missing something.

Hi,

I'm not sure if its the same in your version of VS but I can right click the project/sketch name in the solution explorer and click "Debug>Start new instance". There should be a start command somewhere on the right click menu.

You prob know most of this is an fyi for others ...

If you cannot find a command then you can add one yourself. Everything you click in Visual Studio is a macro. Any macro can be added to menus or tool bars via "Tools>Customize". 

Visual Micro responds to macro commands such as "start new instance" or "build solution" so it doesn't matter where the commands are run from.

You can also create your own macros that combine macro commands using the Macro editor or you can record a macro which can be useful sometimes (but not always).
