Browser unable to refresh and show the changes

Coder Tutorial

Hi Everyone

I bought a new laptop this week and started coding on vstudio, but what i have observed is the browser is not showing or not getting referesh automatically when i am doing some changes in MVC(view). I have created MVC Core application and my vstudio is in debug mode , i even tried to do the same from vscode but still same issue.

I have also done with the changes in setting of the browser for auto refresh in edge and chrome but it is not helping.

Can some one please guide on this.

Thanks in advance

Accepted answer
In ASP.NET Core 3.0 and higher, RazorViewEngineOptions.AllowRecompilingViewsOnFileChange is not available.
To achive this you required some changes:
Step-1. Add Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor.RuntimeCompilation NuGet package to the project
Step-2: Add the following in Startup.cs:
services.AddControllersWithViews().AddRazorRuntimeCompilation();

For more detail check the following link [Enable runtime compilation for all environments]:

Hi Muhammad Imran Ansari

This was really helpful, now i dont have to close the browser to see the changes. I clicked on refresh icon to see the changes on the browser.

But there must be a way where we dont even have to refresh and it shows the changes on the browser, i guess there is some technique to do that.

Thanks for your response again.
