1) Open Visual Studio
2) On the Tools menu, choose External Tools.
3) In the External Tools dialog box, choose Add, and enter a name "Selenium Server" in the Title box.
4) In the Command box, enter the path to the Java Runtime. For example "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe"
5) In the Arguments box, enter arguments in the following format - "-jar selenium-server.jar".
6) In the Initial directory, enter "$(SolutionDir)\_tools\selenium"
7) Select Use output window and then choose OK.
Place selenium-server.jar file in $(SolutionDir)\_tools\selenium directory, commit it in SVN, so every developer will have the same version of Selenium as you.
Now server can be started/stopped through "Tools" menu.

Please let me know.
This worked for me in VS 2005 after I changed the initial directory to $(ProjectDir)\_tools\selenium (Since I did not have a Solution file, just projects.
Please tell more clear about these two
1-In the Initial directory, enter "$(SolutionDir)\_tools\selenium"
2-Place selenium-server.jar file in $(SolutionDir)\_tools\selenium directory
Piyush,
In the Initial Directory put path of the directory where your java.exe file is present.

Open Visual Studio->Tools->External Tools-> Add

CommanD : C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe

Hi Vijendra,
Here is the script to start selenium from nant:
<target name="start.selenium.grid.rc">
<exec program="cmd" verbose="true" failonerror="false">
<arg value="/c" />
<arg value="java" />
<arg value="-classpath" />
<arg value="${rc.selenium.folder}\${selenium.server.file};${rc.selenium.folder}\${selenium.grid.rc.file}" />
<arg value="com.thoughtworks.selenium.grid.remotecontrol.SelfRegisteringRemoteControlLauncher" />
<arg value="-host" />
<arg value="${rc.host}" />
<arg value="-port" />
<arg value="${rc.port}" />
<arg value="-hubURL" />
<arg value="${rc.hubURL}" />
</exec>
</target>
I believe that MSBuild task will be very similar to it.

Works properly. Before I launched Selenium server using batch file. Now it is more easy. Hope to see more your blogs.
