About

This extension allows you to change active project when Solution contains multiple Projects, also aiming to achieve maximum manual control.

How it works

Extension changes program property of first launch configuration + second element of args in first task, any other properties are left to your discretion.

Pre-requirements

• Your opened workspace must contain Solution file (.sln) in root directory.
• Your opened workspace must contain launch.json and tasks.json.
• Your launch.json and tasks.json must contain at least one launch configuration and build task. (you can generate this setup with default C# extension)

Sample launch.json
