Change default server for samples from IIS Express to Kestrel

[captainsafia]

Samples that use IIS Express in the repo don't work because they rely on a native component that hasn't been built. For example, MVC and Blazor samples don't work when run with IIS Express. There's no guidance we currently can give to users to get samples working with IIS Express.

Although we can invest time in addressing the build process for the samples so we ensure the native component is always built before the samples are run, a quick fix is to edit the launchSettings.json files for the samples so they all use Kestrel for the server.

So the fix would be to remove IIS settings from launchSettings.json or to move it to 2nd option after kestral.

Correct.

I moved the IIS Express option to 2nd one for some project, but VS still shows the IIS Express option to run, seems like VS don't respect the order of profiles in launchSettings.json. But if we delete the IIS Express option completely, then it shows the Kestral option as default.
I think we need to delete the IIS Express option completely from launchSettings to get this working as expected!
So will that be ok?

@MCCshreyas Can you try renaming the command property for the IIS config to something other than IISExpress? Like "IIS Express".

[ShreyasJejurkar]

@captainsafia I did that, but no effect on lunch selected option. See below screenshot.
