"No C# project is currently loaded" in Visual Studio Code when debugging

Question

I only get such an error when I press F5(run) in C#, all libraries are installed, .Net is installed. I deleted the app and reinstalled it but it didn't work.

Can you help me?(

No C# project is currently loaded. Please create a C# project in order to debug.

Source: C# Dev Kit (Extension)

When I press F5, the code does not work and I get an error as in the picture

Answer 1

To set up build and debug assets in your .NET project:

1. Open the Command Palette: Press Ctrl + Shift + P.
2. Select the Command: Type and select >.NET: Generate Assets for Build and Debug.
3. Enable Debugging: On the left sidebar, click on the Debug button located above the Extensions icon.

You should now be all set to start debugging!

Answer 2

In my case I was following a couple different (older) walk throughs that used a mix of Command Pallet commands to create the C# project and solution.

dotnet new console
dotnet new sln

In the terminal I could run the project.

dotnet run

But I could not debug. Then I figured out that the "project" was not associated with the "solution". At the bottom of the Explorer pane open the Solution Explorer. If necessary, create a folder and then right click and Add Existing Project... Choose the csproj file in your directory and save everything.

Return to the Run and Debug tab and hit [F5].
