How to change "Build Order" in VS2010

My solution has the following projects:

project1
project2
project3
project4
testproject

testproject has no connection with all other projects in the solution. Whenever I start to debug the testproject, the VS always tries to compile/build all other projectX. Here is my finding:

Under the Project Dependencies, I didn't choose any projectX. However, under the build order, the VS lists all projectX+testproject there.

Is there a way that I can tell VS don't compile/build projectX when I debug testproject?

Thank you

The simplest way to handle this:

Right click any project you don't want to build, and select "Unload project". It will be "greyed out" and inactive. When want it back, right click and select "Reload project".

If you right-click your solution from within Visual Studio and select properties a dialog box will pop up allowing you to setup different solution configuration behavior. You can create a test or debug configuration and choose which projects you want to build or not build.
