Looks like you are missing the Symbols...you have to download Symbols in VS Code, press Shift+Control+P to open Command Palette and then write AL>Download Symbols.

mdsr

yes i am unable to download symbol giving me this error:
Could not download symbols. Please see the Visual Studio Code output log for more details.

And what does the output log say?

i want just do setting in vs code so that i will start my first extension development.

try AL:Package to download package first before you download symbols.
can also try to change the runtime version to 3.0 (it works for me)

Try checking this walkthrough https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-extension-example

I think your configuration might be incorrect.
Double check your instance name (Business Central Administration) and the authentication method (Windows, UserName, NavUserPassword).
The port is also important, and you'll need to enable the developer service endpoint.

i have done that still not able to connect.

mdsr

can we install Business central and NAV2016 on same Computer or it will give error while dealing with Business Central.

Your ports are wrong. The developer services are running on port 8049, but your setup on VSCode is trying to get symbols using port 7049

mdsr

@ShaiHulud in which file ports are located in vs code.how to set can you please tell me

mdsr

error while publishing when i change runtime=3.0 to 2.0 then it gives me this error

In launch.json you need to add property "port" under configurations, as such:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "al",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "BC13",
            "server": "http://localhost",
            "serverInstance": "BC13",
            "authentication": "Windows",
            "port": 8049
        }
    ]
}
