Cant' build/upload Arduino Project if part of solution... (Read 7115 times)

	Hello, I noticed, that if my Arduino Project is part of a solution - with different projects (WinForms, MVC, Web API 2) the Arduino Project does not build or upload... If I remove the project from the solution and open it alone it builds and uploads with no problem... Visual Studio 2015 - Update 1 Arduino IDE 1.6.5 VisualMicro 1512.2.0 Regards Peter

	Hi It will build via the main bar and menu commands if it is the "Startup project" shown in bold. Alternatively you can right click and select build or debug>start to upload. Hope that helps a bit.

	Hello, It indeed will build via Project Only->Build [Project] (and I can add a shortcut for that on the toolbar instead of the original icon), but Debug->Start will start the default project of the solution not uploading the Arduino Project currently selected...So I have no option to upload the code to the board... Regards, Peter

	Hi, I was thinking of right click project in solution explorer and clicking "Debug>Start new instance". I think that will work. The visual micro toolbar button functionality is currently under review with all this in mind (and some other bits).

	Hello, I see...It does work... Thank you to point me that out - it makes my life much easier... Just to ask - do you mean to make the original toolbar buttons to work that way? Regards, Peter

	The build and upload buttons on the visual micro toolbar work the same as the standard visual studio build and start commands. Therefore they duplicated functionality which is less confusing but a bit of a waste. maybe the visual micro build and upload should work with whichever project is selected in the solution explorer. The problem is the code being edited can be from project A whilst the solution explorer might have an item from project B selected. So it has the potential to confuse. I find the "Startup Project" system annoying at times
