Unable to run the example

Hi Rob Meade,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A forum. 

I understand your concerns regarding the instructions provided in the exercise. Let me clarify the steps for you. 

When the instructions mention running dotnet run, it refers to running the command in the terminal within the project directory where your .NET application resides. Here’s a detailed guide on how to proceed: 

1.Open your terminal or command prompt: You can use any terminal or command prompt available on your system. 

2.Navigate to your project directory: Ensure you are in the directory where your .csproj file for the DotNetDebugging application is located. You can use the "cd" command to change directories. For example: 

cd C:\Users\pradeep\project\DotNetDebugging

3.Run the application in Debug configuration: Use the following command to run your application in the Debug configuration: 

dotnet run

4.Run the application in Release configuration: If you need to run it in the Release configuration, use: 

dotnet run --configuration Release  

If you encounter issues with the dotnet run command, ensure that you are in the correct directory and that your project is correctly set up. The command dotnet run should work within any .NET project directory. 

If you follow these steps and still encounter issues, please provide any error messages you receive so that I can assist you further.
