❔ Error help

I keep trying to start debugging but get I keep getting the same message.

In the .vscode folder, please show the tasks.json file

zou can always use the VS Code terminal and dotnet to build and run your application manually

yes, and show the tasks.json file

open it in vscode

Here's one

the file seems to be fine - as you can see the build task is defined. If you press Configure task in the error dialog that shows up, what will happen?

I suggest installing this extension, helps with build the project and running

I get this

Where are you finding this?

Vs code extensions

The puzzle symbol

$vscode

1) Install the C# extension
2)
2.a) DO NOT USE OPEN FILE
2.b) Always use Open Folder (from the File menu), and open the folder containing your sln file (or the folder containing the csproj if you have only one csproj)
3) To make the extension start and detect C#, either:
3.a) wait for the prompt that will appear on the bottom right of your screen that ask you if you want it to create some files, and say Yes
3.b) Command Palette (F1 or Ctrl+Shift+P) and type > .Net : Generate Assets for build and run
4) you should see a flame on the Status bar with the Omnisharp logo (see second attached screenshot)
5) it should load to finally say OmniSharp server is running (if not ask for help)

Sorry, I mean your screenshot

(or just use VS proper)

You get that by installing the extension I've mentioned

Might I ask what is the reason for not using Visual studio but opting for vs code?

I am just trying to learn using a tutorial

I get this now that it is installed

Very good, now you open the solution

.SLN file

Oh, I get this

Also please read the steps provided by zzzzzzz

And nothing is in them

Yes I am trying, I don't really get them but I am trying

And if you go up one directory?

I strongly suggest starting out with visual studio 2022 instead

Oh ok

I'll go install that

I was just trying to follow a tutorial on Youtube
