Visual Studio Code : The 'C#' extension is recommended for this file type

Question

So I recently installed visual studio code and added the C# available extensions. I also installed the Unity Debugger but it won't work because "it depends on an unknown 'ms-vscode.csharp' extension", I tried searching for this 'ms-vscode.csharp'in the extensions bar but found nothing. whenever i open a C# file from Unity or from any folder it recommends me to install that uknown C# extensions. what can i do please? here is a picture of the message:

To manually install the correct c# extension, do the following:

• Uninstall existing vscode C# plugin
• Close vscode
• Download the vsix 1.21.12 from here
• Open a command line in the folder where the vsix is.
• Type: code --install-extension .\csharp-1.21.12.vsix

You should see:

Installing extensions...
Extension 'csharp-1.21.12.vsix' was successfully installed.

Open VSCode and in the C# output window, you will see:

Installing C# dependencies...
Platform: win32, x86_64

Downloading package 'OmniSharp for Windows (.NET 4.6 / x64)' (32544 KB).................... Done!
Validating download...
Integrity Check succeeded.
Installing package 'OmniSharp for Windows (.NET 4.6 / x64)'

Errors should now have gone away.
