VS 2005 run emulator when not required.

Visual Studio 2005 starts the emulator on run (start debugging) even
though I've got the target device combo set to 'Windows CE 5.0
device'.
It does download the files to the device and I can debug it on the
device.

Is there a were to stop it running the emulator unnecessary ?

If you have more than one project in your solution check that all of them
are set to the same target platform/device

You should also check your configuration manager. Right click on the
solution in your solution explorer and select Configuration Manager. Ensure
that only the projects you wish to debug are selected to deploy. Then as
Peter said, ensure that all deployed projects have their target platform set
to the device.

Thanks Peter you were spot on. One of the projects within the solution
had the device set for the emulator. Not sure why, as I never use the
emulator, but hey, as long as I have a solution, that great.
