Few more possibilities:

• If you have a client and server in your solution (lets say a WPF and WCF app) you should make sure you select 'multiple startup projects'. [this one is similar to your accepted answer, but useful if you need a client running too]

• Release mode is selected for the project. When doing a fresh get (as I discovered today) on a new machine VS seems to like to switch to 'Release' configuration profile.
