VS Code - debugging referenced project (.NET Core)

How can I force debbuger in Visual Studio Code to step into method which is defined in project which I added reference to? I am referencing Encog library which is outside the working directory like this:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
   <PropertyGroup>
      <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
      <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.2</TargetFramework>
      <RootNamespace>IDS_CS</RootNamespace>
   </PropertyGroup>
   <ItemGroup>
      <ProjectReference Include="..\encog-dotnet-core-master\encog-core-cs\encog-core-cs.csproj" />
   </ItemGroup>
</Project>

Debugger starts and everything seems fine, however I cannot step into method which is implemented in the Encog librarye.

Any solution? Thanks!

In all of your *.csproj (C# project) files that you want to debug in vs-code, be sure to add the <DebugType>portable</DebugType> in a <PropertyGroup> option. Below is a snippet of how I have all of my *.csproj files setup. After doing this I was able to debug step-into the main web application as well as any of the code referenced from one of my other projects to support separation of concerns: my logic lair layer :) vs. my model layer vs. my data layer, etc.

In all your *.csproj files:

<PropertyGroup>
  <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.1</TargetFramework>
  <GenerateDocumentationFile>true</GenerateDocumentationFile>
  <DebugType>portable</DebugType>
</PropertyGroup>

A bit more info can be found here if you have project.json files instead of *.csproj files.
