When using the ANTS menu in Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 to launch the performance profiler, it always profiles the output from only one project in my solution. How can I use the Profiler to profile the other project(s)?

The ANTS Profiler Add-in always launches the default project in a Visual Studio solution. In order to use the ANTS menu items to start profiling other projects, simply right-click the Visual Studio project whose output you want to profile, and select "Set as startup project" before profiling it.
