SYMPTOMS

In Visual Studio .NET, when you reload the solution that contains multiple projects from Visual SourceSafe, the startup project may be changed.

This is in the environment code. When the solution is closed, the startup project is reset to NULL, which makes another project the startup project.

Set the startup project manually.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

Use Visual Basic .NET to create a Web Service Project named MyWebService. (Visual Basic .NET also creates the solution MyWebService.)
Create a Web Application Project named MyWebApplication, and then add it to the MyWebService solution.
Set the project as the startup project, and then set the WebForm1.aspx as the start page.
Add this solution to Source Control.

Note Microsoft recommends that you always allow addition of Web projects that use File Share to have access to Source Control.
To run the web form, press F5.
Close both the solution and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Open the solution from Visual Source Control: On the File menu, click Source Control, and then click Open From Source Control. (You must create a new folder named NewMyWebService for the reload process.)

Note that the startup project is changed to the MyWebService project.
