Running Containers on WSL with C#

This article explores the new WSL Containers feature in public preview, which allows building, pulling, and running Linux containers directly on WSL without Docker Desktop. It covers installing the WSL pre-release, using the wslc CLI, and programmatically starting containers from C# code using the Microsoft.WSL.Containers NuGet package. The guide includes step-by-step instructions for setting up a session, pulling images, creating and starting containers, and executing commands, with a focus on .NET Windows-targeted frameworks.
