Answer 1

This could be a slightly daunting journey for you, so i'd want to plant the seed that there's 2 approaches. Doing it right, or making it work as fast as you can.

Doing it right - Take your exported ARM code and use Bicep (improved ARM authoring experience) in VS Code to decompile the Arm to Bicep. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/bicep/decompile?tabs=azure-cli
Review the parameters to only expose the things you want to change, look over the code and clean up the names and make sure all of problems identified by the Bicep VS Code extension are fixed.
Deploy to a new Resource Group in Azure using the Azure CLI
Test and refine the IaC code
Fast and loose - Take the exported template code, add them as Template Specs and attempt to deploy using the Portal UI. For each deployment failure, parse the error and incrementally change the template until it works.

@Jaanvi Dhariwal , Apologies it looks like AirGordon may have missed to add method 2.

Based on my understanding of your scenario, you have exported an ARM template (downloaded it), by using one of exported method described in the Azure doc and that now, you want to deploy this exported ARM template of the app service, to do that, you may follow these steps:

Essentially, you will need to import/upload/re-use the template, edit template in the portal template editor and modify the parameters and variables as per your requirement.

1. Open the Azure portal and click on +Create a resource and navigate to Template deployment - under GetStarted>Azure services.

(added screenshots below for a reference)

--In the search bar, type "Template deployment" and select the "Template deployment" option from the list.

2. Click on the "Create" button to create a new resource and navigate to “Build your own template in the editor”

3. ‘Load file’ to import or upload the exported ARM template.

4. Adjust the Parameters, variable, resources tab, adjust the required parameters for the app service, such as the app name, app service plan, and other settings and save it.

--ensure app name is not reused, which is unique

5. Click on the "Review + create" button to review the deployment settings.

6. Once you have reviewed the settings, click on the "Create" button to start the deployment.

7. Wait for the deployment to complete. You can monitor the deployment progress in the Azure portal

If you wish, you may take a look at our Learn module to understand and get hands-on template deployment

Deploy Azure infrastructure by using JSON ARM templates

Kindly take a look at these reference resources

Please let us know how it goes, we will follow-up further.

Jaanvi Dhariwal, Thanks for the follow-up.

After deploying the ARM template, you can add your .NET code to the Azure Web App by following these steps**:**

Open the Azure portal and navigate to the Web App that you just deployed.

Click on the "Deployment Center" tab in the left-hand menu.

Choose the deployment method that you prefer. You can choose from several options, including GitHub, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket, and FTP.

Follow the instructions for your chosen deployment method to connect your code repository to the Web App.

Once your code repository is connected, the Web App will automatically deploy your code whenever you push changes to the repository.

OR

If you are using Visual Studio to develop your .NET code, you can also use the "Publish" feature to deploy your code directly to the Web App. To do this, follow these steps:

Open your .NET project in Visual Studio.

Right-click on the project in the Solution Explorer and choose "Publish".

Choose "Azure" as the target and sign in to your Azure account.

Choose the Web App that you just deployed as the target.

Follow the remaining steps in the wizard to publish your code to the Web App.

Thanks for the follow-up, Jaanvi. Hope you had a good weekend.

Based on my understanding of your issue (above) - It seems like you are having trouble loading your .NET code in Visual Studio. Is this issue confined only to this project (that you're wanting to Azure App service or any local files)? ( I understand you have tried, reloading steps and running VS in elevated mode).

I hope you have ensured all the prerequisites are installed, as outlined in the doc.
Have you tried checking if the project files are in the correct location? You may also try to create a new project and copy the files over to see if that resolves the issue.

Try opening the solution file (.sln) instead of the project file (.csproj). The solution file should contain all the projects in your solution.

In case the issue is affecting all files/projects on your VS - If the solution file is still not loading all the projects, try deleting the .vs folder in your solution directory and then reopening the solution file. The .vs folder contains Visual Studio's cache and deleting, to help isolate/resolve issues with loading projects. [Note: You may consider taking backup of the files, before deleting any files]
