[#VS2013] HowTo: Delayed start for some projects (mine is not a a cool solution)

Hello.

I am working with a VS solution with

1 Draft WebAPI
1 WPF project
1 Draft Win8

The WepAPI project is also a hub of SignalR communications with the WPF and the Win8 projects. I use the the capabilities of launching of multiple Visual Studio projects at once:

The problem is that both the WPF project and the Win8 project, set up the “signalR client” in his AppStart(); and the project WebAPI takes a little to start working, so I have a set of timeouts in the 2 clients apps.

I was thinking that someone has already created an Visual Studio AddIn which allows me to control the time of release and run for each project, but I did not find it. So I opted for a solution much more dirty, very dirty, something like to add the following code in the AppStart() of each app:

   1: public static void DelayAppStart()

   2: {

   3: #if DEBUG

   4:     // delayed start of the app to be

   5:     // used locally with the service layer

   6:     Thread.Sleep(5000);

   7: #endif

   8: }

In debug mode, each app in your start “stops 5 seconds” before continuing if execution. Then in Release, this code would be already not run… Gives me a bad spine that you won’t see (code smell tell him), although it is the temporary solution.
