Visual Studio 2010 Preview in multiple browsers


Is there any extension or feature in VS2010 for previewing in multiple browsers (at the same time) the same as there is in Microsoft Expression Web 4? I know there is the "Default Browser Switcher" extension but this only lets you view one browser at a time. Cheers Will


Solution

  • I have found a solution on how to preview a MVC application in multiple browsers by adding a few answers together. What you do is add an .aspx page into your project and set this as the startup page when you run the project. Then with your project set it so that you are automatically redirected to another page, be it "Login" or a "Home" page. The last step is to use @Walls answer

    When you right click on the page to do the "Browse With...", you can set multiple defaults. Once you have added in multiple browsers to the list, you can CTRL Click each one you want (to highlight multiples). Once the desired ones are highlighted, click "Set as Default". From then on, whenever you hit "Browse" it should open in all your "Default" browsers you highlighted.

    Now when you run the project it will start up all of your default browsers for testing.
