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

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,
