Is there a way in existing VS2019 to have a dotnet c# project be compiled and debugged on a linux host from a project template in Windows like the template for " c++ linux console"? Project on windows, sources and build copied to linux directory and built there with local dotnet core?

    Hello @mwx ,

    Thank you for taking time to post this issue in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    For your requirement, I’m afraid, there isn’t a project template which meets your requirement in Visual Studio.

    But, perhaps, you can do it manually(build and deploy the application). Please refer to this document: Debug .NET Core on Linux using SSH by attaching to a process -- Build and deploy the application, and then try to attach the debugger to remote debugging this deployed application in remote machine(a Linux host).

    Besides, I also suggest you directly suggest this feature to Visual Studio Product Team in our Developer Community, and if you do suggest this feature, please share the link here, other forum members, include me, who are interested or needed this feature will go to vote for this thread.

    I hope this could help you a little.

    Best Regards,
    Tianyu
