.Net Core Web Api project Can't Debug with Visual studio code

Question

I have Created a .net Core Web Api Project in Visual Studio code. I wanted to Debug the app so I Added the Configuration as "Attach to Local .Net Core Console App".after that i pressed debug button. then it asked me to attach the app.but my app didn't appear in the dropdown. i tried several things but didn't work anything.I found that the configuration settings stored in the "launch.json" file and I cleared the configurations array from the launch.json and re added from the add configuration button. but didn't work anything yet. the problem is when i try to attach to the process of my app is not showing to attach. Please help me to fix the issue. I have attached some images and the project.

project Thanks.

Edit launch.json and change program to point to your actual assembly file path. — Lex Li

Copied from comment.

VSCode's C# extension usually generates a launch.json file, but it does not work immediately, as its program attribute requires your edit so as to point to the correct executable.

Your .vscode folder should include a launch.json file.
If it's not there, simply close vs code and open it again, make sure you are in the project directory (from the Terminal).
Then a vs code pop up will appear from the bottom right telling you it can't detect a launch.json and it will ask you whether it should create one for you. Click yes, then press F5 and the API server will run in debug mode.
