Visual Studio 2022 specify runtime identifier during build and debug using WSL2 debug toolbar button

Question

Hi,

I have a project that I'd like to keep buildable for Linux and Windows for the time being. The problem is it relies on IBM DB2 library which has a separate nuget for Linux and Windows. I have found a way to use RuntimeIdentifiers property in csproj file, and that with dotnet build -r switch allows me to specify which runtime to target during build, but I haven't yet found a way to specify the runtime during build triggered by WSL2 debug button on Visual Studio 2022 toolbar.

Any way to specify runtimeIdentifier without cmd line?

<PropertyGroup>
    <RuntimeIdentifiers>win10-x64;linux-x64</RuntimeIdentifiers>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <Choose>
    <When Condition="$(RuntimeIdentifier) != ''">
      <ItemGroup>
        <PackageReference Include="Net.IBM.Data.Db2-lnx" Version="6.0.0.300" Condition="$(RuntimeIdentifier.StartsWith('linux-x64'))"/>
        <PackageReference Include="Net.IBM.Data.Db2" Version="6.0.0.300" Condition="$(RuntimeIdentifier.StartsWith('win-x64'))"/>
      </ItemGroup>
    </When>
    <Otherwise>
      <ItemGroup>
        <PackageReference Include="Net.IBM.Data.Db2-lnx" Version="6.0.0.300" Condition="$([MSBuild]::IsOsPlatform('Linux'))"/>
        <PackageReference Include="Net.IBM.Data.Db2" Version="6.0.0.300" Condition="$([MSBuild]::IsOSPlatform('Windows'))"/>
      </ItemGroup>
    </Otherwise>
  </Choose>

Hi @gitzko , 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

You can right click on your project in Solution Explorer > Publish > Target runtime to specify the runtime.
