Running multiple services

[Gsonovb]

I tried to run the tutorial（ https://docs.microsoft.com/zh-cn/dotnet/architecture/dapr-for-net-developers/getting-started ）
Multiple services in the local environment.
But it didn't succeed
Now you can only add multiple services manually, which is very inconvenient.
Want to start management functions for multiple projects (such as build, port number modification, environment variables, etc.)

@ Gsonovb Can you be a little more specific about what didn't work? You should be able to add the Dapr tasks for multiple services through the command palette scaffolding commands. That said, having to explicitly manage the ports for each service is admittedly less than ideal, even after considering that this needs be done only once, as each service is added.

There is another, higher level tool for such orchestration that might be considered: Tye

Will close this for now, but note that there is a feature coming to Dapr to help simplify the multiple services with Dapr scenario (if not necessarily integrated with this extension from the start).

See dapr/cli#1123
