+VS Code needs to be configured so it understands how to build your project and debug it. For this there are two files which need to be added -- `.vscode/tasks.json` and `.vscode/launch.json`.
* Tasks.json is used to configure what command line command is executed to build your project, and launch.json configures the type of debugger you want to use, and what program should be run under that debugger.
* Launch.json configures VS Code to run the build task from tasks.json so that your program is automatically up-to-date each time you go to debug it.

-**.vscode/tasks.json**: Start with [this example](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode/ExampleCode/tasks.json) which configures VS Code to launch 'dotnet build'. Update the 'cwd' property if your project isn't in the root of the open folder. If you don't want to build from VS Code at all, you can skip this file. If you do this, you will need to comment out the 'preLaunchTask' from .vscode/launch.json when you create it.

###Debugging Code compiled on another computer
If your code was built on a different computer from where you would like to run in there are a few things to keep in mind --
* **Source Maps**: Unless your local source code is at exactly the same path as where the code was originally built you will need to add a [sourceFileMap](#source-file-map) to launch.json.
* **Portable PDBs**: If the code was built on Windows, it might have been built using Windows PDBs instead of portable PDBs, but the C# extension only supports portable PDBs. See the [portable PDB documentation](https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode/wiki/Portable-PDBs#how-to-generate-portable-pdbs) for more information.
-* **Debug vs. Release**: It is much easier to debug code which has been compiled in the 'Debug' configuration. So unless the issue you are looking at only reproduces with optimizations, it is much better to use Debug bits. If you do need to debug optimized code, you will need to disable [justMyCode](#just-my-code) in launch.json.
