Undefined References even though .bib file is present in same directory

Question

Whenever i am compiling my main.tex with ref.bib file in Texstudio it is not showing the references and telling Empty bibliography. The log is showing this

33: Citation 'Valiant1979CompletenessCI' on page 2 undefined
33: Citation 'Mahajan1997ACA' on page 2 undefined
33: Citation 'completeburg' on page 2 undefined
33: Citation 'ramsurvey' on page 2 undefined
33: Citation 'shpilkasurvey' on page 2 undefined
: There were undefined references.
: Please (re)run Biber on the file:(biblatex) document(biblatex) and rerun LaTeX afterwards.

My main.tex contains

\documentclass[10pt]{beamer}
\graphicspath{{Images/}{./}}
\usepackage{booktabs,hyperref}
\usetheme{Madrid}
\usepackage{amsfonts,amsmath}
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=alphabetic]{biblatex}

    \begin{itemize}
 \item $VF\subseteq VBP \subseteq VP \subseteq VNP$
 \item Any circuit of size $s$ and depth $d$ can be converted to a formula of size $s^d$ 
        \item $VP$ is contained in $VNP$ and it is believed that this containment is strict (Valiant's Hypothesis \cite{Valiant1979CompletenessCI}).
     \item $VP= VNP\implies #P=FP\implies P= NP$
     \item $DET$ is $VBP-complete$ \cite{Mahajan1997ACA}
     \item $PERM$ is $VNP-complete$ \cite{completeburg}
     \item There are other structural results that are well written in \cite{ramsurvey} and \cite{shpilkasurvey}
     \end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

when i run biber it is showing INFO - This is Biber 2.19 INFO - Logfile is 'ref.bib.blg' ERROR - Cannot find 'ref.bib.bcf'! INFO - ERRORS: 1 and .bbl is empty — Soham Chatterjee, Jun 07 '23 at 13:49
You need to run biber with biber filename_of_your_document (no file ending), not the name of your bib file. If your tex file is called example.tex, you need to run biber example — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Jun 07 '23 at 13:50
... and then you should also add something like \begin{frame} \printbibliography \end{frame} to your document — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Jun 07 '23 at 13:52
When I am running individually pdflatex then biber then pdflatex the document is generating correctly but in texstudio it is not happening — Soham Chatterjee, Jun 07 '23 at 13:56
@SohamChatterjee See https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/154751/biblatex-with-biber-configuring-my-editor-to-avoid-undefined-citations — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Jun 07 '23 at 14:00
@SohamChatterjee Can you show a screenshot of the Commands tab in your texstudio preferences? — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Jun 07 '23 at 14:03
@samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz That answer helped actually. My default bibliography tool was biblatex not biber that's why it was not compiling the .bib file — Soham Chatterjee, Jun 07 '23 at 18:39
@SohamChatterjee Great to hear that you could solve your problem! — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Jun 07 '23 at 18:56
