How to Effortlessly Run and Debug Applications in Linux with Visual Studio Code & WSL

In this video, we'll show you how to run and debug your application in Linux using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) and Visual Studio Code. The application we'll be using is a .NET C# application, but this method should work for any type of application you can run in Visual Studio Code with the debugger.

We'll start by installing the WSL extension in Visual Studio Code, and then open a terminal window in WSL. From there, we'll open Visual Studio Code and make sure that our extensions are installed in the WSL section of the extension panel. We'll then show you how to set a breakpoint, run a test, and debug your application. Finally, we'll demonstrate how to run your application from the command line using "dotnet run." Get started with running and debugging your Linux applications in Visual Studio Code with WSL today!
