Browser opens instead of console application when debugging

Question

I am writing a WCF service and a simple console-application to test it. When I select my test-project (console application) in solution explorer and press F5 the project builds and opens a browser window instead of my console app. But I can find my console app in Debug folder and launch it manually. Any ideas why this could be happening?

Do you set option 'Set as startup project' for your console app? — alexmac

@Alexander, thank you, that was the problem. Make it an answer so that I choose it? — Anarion

@FaizanMubasher, yeah, I agree, but I could not understand the roots of the problems, and I could not google the solution. — Anarion

You should set option 'Set as startup project' for your console app (from context menu on your console project in Solution Explorer).
