## Definition

```csharp
namespace Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel;

public static class DebugSupportExtensions
{
    // ...
}
```

## Methods

- [CreateLaunchConfigurationAsync(IResource, string, CancellationToken)](/reference/api/csharp/aspire.hosting/debugsupportextensions/methods.md#createlaunchconfigurationasync-iresource-string-cancellationtoken) : `Task<object>` `extension` `ats ignored` -- Creates the launch configuration that this resource sends to the IDE for the given launch mode.
- [HasLaunchToolArgsOwnedBy(IResource, SupportsDebuggingAnnotation)](/reference/api/csharp/aspire.hosting/debugsupportextensions/methods.md#haslaunchtoolargsownedby-iresource-supportsdebuggingannotation) : `bool` `extension` `ats ignored` -- Determines whether the launch configuration performs the resource's tool invocation itself, meaning the resource's launch tool arguments must not also be passed to the launched program.
- [SupportsDebugging(IResource, IConfiguration, SupportsDebuggingAnnotation?)](/reference/api/csharp/aspire.hosting/debugsupportextensions/methods.md#supportsdebugging-iresource-iconfiguration-supportsdebuggingannotation) : `bool` `extension` `ats ignored` -- Determines whether the resource will be launched by the IDE for debugging in the current session.
