I'm only familiar with VS6* myself, but I vaguely recall that it has a
properties panel for the current project, where you can set the EXE name to run
when debugging.  After setting it, the IDE just hooks that program into the
debugger when you start a debugging session.  Perhaps there's something similar
in the more recent versions of visual studio for this.

* - I really thing MS had it right with version 6.  Why they had to go and
change it up and make it resource hog is beyond me.
