I work on .NET 4.7. I have an issue: I can't run applications in Visual Studio Code. I don't know how to run it.

Startup page is

http://localhost:22851/WebPages/loginT.aspx

This page opens in Visual Studio 2019, but how to open the page logint.aspx in Visual Studio Code?

Project contains aspx web pages and asx user controls.

Visual Studio Code version is 1.96.2

    Other than editing, visual studio code has little support for the 4.* framework (no debug support). you can use a vscode task to run the msbuild of the project

    https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/tasks

    You can use the launch file to start IIS or IIS express

    Hi @ahmed salah,

    I work on .NET 4.7. I have an issue: I can't run applications in Visual Studio Code. I don't know how to run it.

    Unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with Visual Studio Code, but based on the relevant documentation, I think your needs may not be achieved.

    First, you need to add C# support in VS code by installing C# Dev Kit extension, but the C# Dev Kit not support .NET Framework projects. Simply refer to this FAQ of C# Dev Kit: The Solution Explorer reports that my project is not supported in C# Dev Kit. In summary, I recommend that you use Visual Studio to run your project, which provides a more convenient environment for .NET Framework projects.

    Best Regards,

    Xudong Peng
