How to run .cpp in VS separately?

Question

C++ / C#

For example, I am writing a task in one tab and I need to check one way, but without affecting the main one, I create a new element and when I press Ctrl + F5 to run and check it starts compiling all elements.

Question: how to launch only individual elements?

Answer 1

In any way probably, it is impossible to have more than 1 main'a in one project. You can comment out main in one and write in another. Or create a new project with these files (the files are not even copied to the new project when adding existing ones to it).

Answer 2

you can make excluded from build to one cpu and create different versions of the build.
Or use conditional compilation #if defined(MAIN1) .... #endif

Answer 3

You can create several projects in one solution and compile only the required project.
