Research direction

Start by tracing the existing support for DefaultStartup="true" on a single Project in the slnx serializer and models. Confirm how multiple projects are read and written, then verify that multiple projects marked true are preserved and respected as startup projects.

Description

While support for specifying a single startup project was added by setting DefaultStartup="true" in the Project element, it does not work for specifying multiple startup projects, as I pointed out in my comment on the original issue.

It would be great it if I could specify DefaultStartup="true" on multiple projects in the slnx file and it would be respected.
