visual studio 2010 single project with multiple cpp files with main

Question

I want to examine a lot of little cpp files that have int main() , and run only one of them at one running . something like this -

enter image description here

Is there any way to do that without open new project for every cpp file ?

You can choose not to compile the files. Go to the properties, and exclude the file from build.

No. In a project, you cannot have multiple main() function.

You can rename them to test1(), test2(), test3(), and call them one by one from main(). That is what I do usually.

but for that you'll need to create header files for each of these and include the header file of say test1, as #include "test1.h", at the beginning of the main.cpp file right?
