How do I create the solution in Visual Studio 2008 from which I should be able to press F5 (debug) and get all webservices going aswell as start up Microsoft Internet Explorer with the frontpage of the websolution?

I need to create a solution in which I will add all existing projects for an existing application. The projects are at present located in several diffrent solutions, several for diffrent webservices and one for the main web application, which makes it hard to debug. I have tried to just create a new solution and add all existing projects, but it did not work - the webservices won't start automatically. If there is some configuration that needs to be done in order to get the webservices started, please explain that part too.

Sorry for not being able to include any example code.

If you want to add nothing but existing projects to a solution then you should use the Blank Solution template. You can then use the Add Existing Project option to add the projects to the solution.

As for running multiple projects when debugging, right-click the solution and select Set Startup Projects. You can then select multiple startup projects instead of just one.
