What is launch profile:
Launch profiles allows you to change the behavior of the application without rebuilding the application. Let’s say if you want to view developer exception page in development, but not in staging and production.
Launch profile contains “Profile Name”, “Launch Application name”, “Application arguments”, “working directory”, “Launch browser” and “Environment Variables”.
Launch profile can be found “Properties” folder in project.
There are two ways to add/edit launch profiles. One way is open “launchSettings.json” and edit settings.

Second way is select the project and select “Properties” option.

To add new profile or delete existing profile, you can use the buttons “New”, “Delete”
