How to write NON-CORE .NET with VS Code?

I installed VS Code and created a simple C# source. After installing OmniSharp and .Net Debugger extension, I want to start debugging the code.

VS Code asks me to Select Environment and by default there are Node.js and .Net Core.

I selected More... from the drop-down menu and tried to find an environment for standard .net framework (I mean the non-core version) but could not find any.

Does this mean VS Code only supports .NET Core?

For whatever reason, non-core .NET functionality is nowhere to be found in any of the GUI drop downs on my configuration, while your mileage may vary in that respect, directly editing launch.json always works. To convert an auto-generated dotnet core debug config to use non-core .NET, simply change the line "type":"coreclr" to "type":"clr". Here's an example configuration:

   {
       "name": ".NET Launch (console)",
       "type": "clr",
       "request": "launch",
       "preLaunchTask": "build",
       "program": "${workspaceFolder}/Project/bin/Debug/net461/Project.exe",
       "args": [],
       "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
       "stopAtEntry": false,
       "console": "internalConsole"
   },
