Description

Type: Improvement

there is a configuration for launching and debugging a .NET console app, but not a UI APP (e.g. WPF). Please make it easier like the full Visual Studio, just pressing play on the command bar.

Extension version: 0.1.83
VS Code version: Code 1.78.2 (b3e4e68a0bc097f0ae7907b217c1119af9e03435, 2023-05-10T14:39:26.248Z)
OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.22631
Modes:
Sandboxed: Yes

I mean that when you click "add configuration", the menu explicitly shows ".NET core console app":

so it might be confusing for someone that doesn't know that "Console app" indication is not relevant, it would be for any .NET app.

Also, I was wondering if this extension would make automatic edits to this configuration file to launch & debug all the different projects inside the solution.
