How to set a .NET project as StartUp in VS Code?

Question

I'm using VS Code with the vscode-solution-explorer to develop a .NET solution.

For debugging, I've configured my .vscode/launch.json file to run a build solution task and to execute a specific C# project (.csproj file).

My problem is: this .NET solution uses the Microservices approach, so I have ~50 Web API projects and each time I need to debug a specific API, I need to open the .vscode/launch.json file and replace the project name in 4 different places.

What I would like to do is the same that I do in Visual Studio: I right-click in the project and select "Set as StartUp project", so every time I press F5 it will run this selected project.

My launch.json looks likes this:

{ "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "name": "MyProject", "type": "coreclr", "request": "launch", "preLaunchTask": "build", "program": "${workspaceFolder}/MyProject/bin/Debug/netcoreapp3.0/MyProject.dll", "args": [], "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/MyProject.csproj", } ] }

@Cid My team is trying to switch to VS Code for many reasons (costs, features, lightweight, etc.) — cash

Well the difference between Code and VS is when you set a project as a startup project, VS doing the config modification task for you. So maybe there might be an extension to do it on Code. — ycansener

You can create multiple configurations in launch.json file. Check this post: How do I designate a startup project in VS Code?
