How to run the WCF Test Client whenever the service is running

I have a WCF project. When I run it sometimes launches the WCF Test Client and sometimes it does not.

How can I set the WCF Test Client to always open?

Solution

  • The link in MLF's answer does contain good information, and is definitely worth a read. However, it took me a while to find the specific answer I was looking for, which is about halfway down the page:

    If you set the focus on the .svc or .xamlx file in Solution Explorer, WCF Test Client will start when pressing F5.

    This still holds true in Visual Studio 2015.
