Missing information

### Description

I'm trying to get the User Secrects configuraiton source included, as explained in this comment:

> load app [IConfiguration](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.extensions.configuration.iconfiguration?view=net-9.0-pp) from User Secrets when [EnvironmentName](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.extensions.hosting.ihostenvironment.environmentname?view=net-9.0-pp#microsoft-extensions-hosting-ihostenvironment-environmentname) is 'Development' using the entry assembly

but I have no idea what this means:
> is 'Development' using the entry assembly

Trying this:
```csharp
var builder = Host.CreateApplicationBuilder(new HostApplicationBuilderSettings
{
EnvironmentName = Environments.Development,
});
```

has no effect. And setting directly the environment name, neither works:

```csharp
builder.Environment.EnvironmentName = "Development";
```

I have no idea, and can't fin in the docuemntation, how to set the environment in a different way.

NOTE: I want to use this for a template using host, so, ideally, this should be done by copde, and not depend on some confiuration that can be changed or verwritten.

Thnak you!
