Generally this is done with environment variables. Setting ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT to "development", but there are situations where that wouldn't work

Yeah i've done it, but how does it know to load the correct file? and another question is, why doesnt my gui show the different enviroment options? i need to activate it somehow?

If you are using Host.CreateDefaultHostBuilder() it comes with that behaviour already. If not, you can do it yourself in your configuration builder by loading the base file and optionally loading the environment specific one
