Get started
After cloning or downloading the repository:
- Reinstall the NugGet packages (if it not already installed) with this command: "Update-Package -reinstall"
- To change the startup project from the Solution Explorer, right-click the desired project and choose "Set as StartUp Project" from the context-sensitive menu that is displayed. You can also choose this menu item from the Project menu. In some situations a solution will require that multiple projects are executing simultaneously. To do so, right-click the name of the solution in the Solution Explorer and choose "Set StartUp Projects". The solution's property page for startup projects, will be displayed. To indicate that you wish to have more than one startup project, first choose the "Multiple Startup Projects" radio button. You will can then set the startup action for each project individually.
