Visual studio commands don't work. ctrl + f5 doesn't run my application

Question

I used to be able to build and run my console applications by hitting Ctrl + F5 in visual studio. This no longer works. I looked everywhere. Does anyon

Answer 1

One day it happened to me when I made some changes to the project and solution files in my ASP .NET project. When I opened it in Visual Studio, it allowed me to rebuild but not to run nor debug (the menu option didn't appear and the Ctrl + F5 didn't work).

What I did to make it work again was right-click over the solution, into the Visual Studio "Solution Explorer" tree tab in the right, where all the files of your project appear, and select properties.

Then, select there a project, and put it as start project.

Perhaps this is your problem here. If not, I hope it can help someone in the future.
