Project Execution

After you deploy the application, you can run it by selecting Design > Run Project from the Project painter menu or selecting the Run Project toolbar icon from the Project painter toolbar.

The context menus for the .NET Windows Forms target and project in the System Tree also have a Run menu item. If the target has more than one project, specify which of them to run when you select Run from the target’s context menu on the Run tab page in the target’s Properties dialog box. Run Project starts running the deployed executable file from the location it was deployed to.

When you debug or run the project from PowerBuilder, a system option setting can cause a message box to appear if the application has been modified since it was last deployed. The message box prompts you to redeploy the application, although you can select No to debug or run the older application, and you can set the system option to prevent the message box from appearing.

For information about the message box, see Triggering Build and Deploy Operations. For information about the system option, see System Option.
