Answer 1

You can set the server project as the single startup project and use this macro to launch the server and the client with a delay:

Sub DebugServerAndClientWithDelay()
    DTE.Debugger.Go(False)
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000)
    DTE.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindSolutionExplorer).Activate()
    DTE.ActiveWindow.Object.GetItem("SolutionName\ClientProjectName").Select(vsUISelectionType.vsUISelectionTypeSelect)
    DTE.ExecuteCommand("ClassViewContextMenus.ClassViewProject.Debug.Startnewinstance")
End Sub

You can add a button to your toolbar or use a shortcut key to run this macro.
