How can I make OmniSharp VSCode intellisense work with compiled WSL code?

Question

When I run dotnet build in my code from my WSL distribution (Windows subsystem for Linux), C # intellisense breaks and I get errors like the following:

I managed to customize the launch configuration found here , but this does not help with Intellisense unless I missed something.

I assume it has something to do with path configurations, but I'm not sure what to change, or where I should change it.

In short, how can I compile and run my code in WSL and edit it in VS Code without errors or warnings?

There are more possible solutions:

---

Incorrect structure of your folder:

• Use a terminal in VSCode and create a folder like mkdir MyProject
• Create your project in a new folder from the terminal, for example: dotnet new console

---

Incorrect settings:

Switch to:

 Code -> Preferences -> Settings 

and delete "omnisharp.useMono": true/false

Alternatively, you can open the project using Visual Studio or MonoDevelop, and then open it again in VSCode.
