How to setup the ASP.NET project as startup project in Visual Studio Code? I'm running it in a Mac.

I'm using a Mac so I'm working on Visual Studio Code from Microsoft. There's no right click command to setup the ASP.NET (.Spa project) as startup project as there's in the video lesson. I've looked over the internet and it seems there's some way to configure it using a launch.json file but could't run the project anyway.

Hi there, Marcos Reboucas! I feel like you're using the incorrect piece of software. Microsoft has two separate pieces of software. Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio. The former is what you currently have and is primarily an editor. The latter is a full-fledged IDE and what you need for your C# projects.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

Hi Jennifer, yes I know that. But I'm on a Mac, so maybe it's not possible to develop ASP.NET using a Macintosh machine?
