This seems to be a common issue, raised by a couple of different people online. Important: Unfortunately after providing my password and clicking OK, Docker Desktop decides that it will uncheck the drive that I had selected. It will detect the credentials of the current user, which for me is an Azure Active Directory user. When you click Apply you’ll be prompt to authenticate. Under Shared Drives tab, check the local drives you want to make available to Docker Desktop. Right-click the Docker icon in the tray and select Settings Essentially you need to award Docker Desktop access to a drive in order to create images etc. Unless you’ve previously setup Docker Desktop you’ll most likely see the following error. If you haven’t already, make sure you have launched Docker Desktop, otherwise you’ll see the following warning in Visual Studio when you attempt to run the application. We’re going to proceed with the Docker option. It’s a half Gb or so download, so not small, and may take a while based on your network bandwidth.Īfter creating the template, you’ll see that there are a number of options available to us in order to run the application. Note: At this point if you haven’t already downloaded and installed Docker Desktop, do it now. Here we’re selecting the API template from the left of the screen, and checking both the https and the Enable Docker Support. The next stage is to provide more information about how the template should be configured. Next we need to provide the standard project information such as name and location. We’re going to select the ASP.NET Core Web Application template.

When you launch Visual Studio 2019, or go to create a new project, you’ll see the Create a new project dialog. I’ll walk through the whole process of creating the new project and the issue I ran into when first attempting to debug the application. In this post I’m going to cover how to solve a particularly annoying problem I encountered when attempting to run and debug an ASP.NET Core 3 application from within Visual Studio, hosted within a Docker image. With Visual Studio 2019 hot off the press I’ve been experimenting with a few of the new project templates and the improvements that have been made in Visual Studio.
