My start up program when working with ArcObjects is nearly always set to ArcMap.exe As my ArcMap installation had recently moved from an F: drive to a C: drive I had to update this for over a dozen projects. There had to be an easier way (!) so I spent some time trying to find out how to accomplish this with a Visual Studio macro. This can easily be altered to set the start up program for a set of projects in a solution, or to another .exe.

    1 Imports System

    2 Imports EnvDTE

    3 Imports VSLangProj

    4 Imports VSLangProj2

    5 Imports VSLangProj80

    6

    7 Public Module ArcGISMacros

    8

    9    Sub SetStartProgram()

   10

   11       Dim proj As Project

   12       Dim config As Configuration

   13       Dim configProps As Properties

   14       Dim prop As [Property]

   15

   16       For Each proj In DTE.Solution.Projects

   17          If TypeOf proj.Object Is VSLangProj.VSProject Then ‘loop through projects

   18             config = proj.ConfigurationManager.ActiveConfiguration

   19             configProps = config.Properties

   20             prop = configProps.Item(“StartProgram”)

   21             If prop.Value.ToString() Like “*ArcMap*” Then

   22                prop.Value = “C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Bin\ArcMap.exe”

   23             End If

   24          End If

   25       Next

   26    End Sub

   27 End Module
