title: Visual Studio Code DLL Develop & Debug
body: <p>I am developing a c# Excel DLL addin in VS Code Ver 1.42.1. I quickly got an initial C#-only test version working using the VS code editor with only manual Command Line (CL) compiler commands below:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>csc -t:library -debug -out:Eandin.dll -r:system.dll[....more...] Eaddin.cs</li>
  <li>csc -t:exe -debug -r:Eaddin.dll -r:system.dll[...more...] Test_Eadin.cs</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I am able to successfully manually CL compile this with above commands and then run. But I now need the debugger to debug, test, and validate my app and code. In VS Code, I have created numerous variation of tasks.json and launch.json to automate my manual commands. My *.json files work to build and launch (^shiftB &amp; F5) in VS code. The code runs and produces output, but the debugger does not work.</p>
  
  <p>I think my problem is not sufficiently understanding dotnet c# compilation. Or what?</p>
  
  <p>Can someone please provide guidance on how to accomplish this?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
