When you hit F5, the browser windows pops up, how do you set which browser the debugger users in Visual Studio 2008?
Update 1
I have looked for the 'Browse with' option and not found it.
Visual Studio opens the default browser instead of Internet Explorer
Update 2
If you are already debugging you dont have the 'Browse with' option.
- Stop debugging and then its there!
Update 3
The accepted answer below is also relevant to changing the default browser to debug with in Visual Studio 2010.
An easier way to do this is simply by selecting the arrow next to the Start Debugging:
Then in the Drop Down goto
Web Browser
and select the browser you would like to debug the site with, you can also selectBrowse with...
to set the default as explained in other answers.First click show all files. Then in the bin folder choose any xml file and then right click and by selecting 'browse with' select your desired browser.
ie ---> Tools ----> Internet options -----> Programe ------> Make Defualt
ASP.NET projects:
ASP.NET MVC 1 projects:
Right click Default.aspx, then follow steps above.
ASP.NET MVC 2 projects:
As there is no Default.aspx, you need to create a Web Form (right-click project > Add > New Item) and follow the steps above.
I find that the
Browse With..
menu item only appears in Visual Studio 2010 when IRun as administrator
. And in that case it is available even while in debug mode.
