VSCode. Debug existing application

Question

I have an aplication WpfApp1 that I just created via VS.

I built it via VS with DebugType == full.

Then I open solution folder with VSCode. Set breakpoint, run my app, attach to it, but it say:

no symbols have been loaded for this document

What am I doing wrong?

This is my configuration:

{
    "name": ".NET Core Attach",
    "type": "clr",
    "request": "attach",
    "processId": "${command:pickProcess}"
}

Yes, I now that I can change DebugType to portable and it will work. But I can't do it (I have some resons for it).

Yes. I tried to search it a lot. But no halp. Sorry, I'm rookie in VSCode — Stas BZ, Nov 27 '17 at 19:33

Use Visual Studio Community edition to debug WPF or other .NET Standard applications. VS Code is meant for cross-platform development, thus the support of the .NET Standard applications is limited to none. E.g. cross-platform development and debugging is supported as well as Mono and .NET Core projects. But WPF is neither of these so you need to use Comunity edition as a minimum.

Here is more info on the subject.
