When I am using python in Visual Studio Code, I have the run button at the top right, however, when I am in a c# file, the run button is not there.

Why is that, and how can I fix it?

Since VS Code is a tool built with C# in mind, having the Run hidden is not a disadvantage but rather to dedicate a complete UI for Running and Debugging your C# code. The Run and Debug UI which you can access from the left menu gives your this capability with comprehensive tools to help you debug.

Activating this tool to run correctly involves two setups, one-time setup and a per-project setup (Don't let this intimidate you, it is just a click of a button)

First Time Setup

1. Install .NET command line tools Install the .NET Core command line tools (CLI) by following the installation part of the instructions here:

Clicking Yes when you see this prompt is all that you really have to do when you open a new dotnet project. If the files are there already you won't be prompted.

Clicking Yes on this prompt should add these resources. Should you need to add those resources manually please check the reference link below.

4. Start debugging Your project is now all set. Set a breakpoint or two where you want to stop, click the debugger play button (or press F5) and you are off.

try pressing f5, should do the same thing as the run button
