Disable Visual Studio ASP.Net debugging from launching the browser

Question

How to configure Visual Studio to stop the launch of the browser window all the time I am debugging an ASP.NET project?

Answer 1

In the web project properties on the Web tab (VS2008) in the "Startup Actions" section or directly in the "Startup Options" section in other versions of Visual Studio. Select the "Do not open the page. Wait until a request from an external application" appears.

That should do the job. But you will probably need a browser to test it.

Answer 3

I am using VS2013. The way I do this is to right-click on the project name -> Properties -> Web -> select "Do not open the page. Wait for a request from an external application"
