Visual Studio delay between multiple startup projects?

Question

how to add some delay between startup projects in solution?

I want Client

Answer 1

Why don't you just pass an argument to the client application which sets the delay?

static void main(string[] args)
{
  // Sleep some time
  int delay;
  if (args.Length > 0 && int.TryParse(args, out delay))
  {
    Thread.Sleep(delay);
  }

  // Initialize client
}

Now you can add the delay in milliseconds to the command-line arguments for the project startup.

I also agree that if possible, it's better to solve your problem structurally, so it doesn't matter when your client and server start.
