Visual Studio for Mac 2022 - Hot Reload? - visual-studio-mac

I am a fairly new to developing applications on Mac OS. I am using Visual Studio for Mac 2022 - Preview. I am all up to date and have created a ASP.NET MVC Web Application using .NET 6. I have started the debugger using the generated project. I make a change to the Index.cshtml file but that change fails to be reflected in the browser after saving the file. Any ideas if Hot Reload works in Visual Studio for Mac? I dont see any button to toggle the Hot Reload as all screenshots i have seen are for Windows Visual Studio. Any help would be appreciated as stopping and starting the debugger each time a change is made is very inconvenient. Thanks.
EDIT:
I have installed the Nuget Package
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor.RuntimeCompilation
And then updated my Program.cs file as follows:
// Add services to the container.
builder.Services.AddControllersWithViews().AddRazorRuntimeCompilation();
My changes to .cshtml files still do not want to recompile after saving.
Any more help would be appreciated.
Visual Studio for Mac
Version: 17.0 Preview (17.0 build 5186)
Created a new Web Application (Model-View-Controller) project.

I got it to work on the latest preview version of Visual Studio 2022 for Mac. You will need to add the NuGet package, and also add the service to your builder in the program.cs file as an extra service:
builder.services.AddRazorPages().AddRazorRuntimecompilation();
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/mvc/views/view-compilation?view=aspnetcore-6.0&tabs=visual-studio#enable-runtime-compilation-for-all-environments

I don't know of any way to do it within Visual Studio, but if you navigate to the folder with your .csproj in Terminal, you can type
dotnet watch
and it will load your app. Then you can make changes within Visual Studio, save, and the browser will automatically reload. The only problem is since it's running from the command line, it won't hit breakpoints in your program (I don't know of any way to do so anyway).

As mentioned above, adding builder.Services.AddRazorPages().AddRazorRuntimeCompilation() works well, the only thing that you have to reload the page manually though, while your project is running.

Context menu missing in Visual Studio 2022

The project that I'm working on uses the Visual Studio (2022) extension 'Unchase OpenAPI (Swagger) Connected Services' to generate a C# controller. My colleague and I have both followed a tutorial on Medium to setup this extension, and we have both installed version 1.7.1. However, in the solution explorer, I don't get the context menu item to update the connected service whereas my colleague does. The attached picture shows my environment (upper) and his (lower), and as can be readily seen, I'm missing an option.
So far I've tried to disable and enable the extension, restarting VS, and even restarting the PC.
Any idea why I cannot update the connected service?
It seems it is a bug in Visual Studio 17.2.x. Workaround is to use NSwagStudio, but the template folder has (if you use it) is now relative to a temporary folder, not the one .nswag definition resides into.

C# & Visual Studio : storage issue

I have a problem with Visual Studio.
When I create a new project and start programming and in between I save, at some point when I want to run it, Visual Studio does not accept my new code. It always executes the old code although I have overwritten it.
I have already re-downloaded Visual Studio 2 times but that didn't help. I use Visual Studio Community 2019
Try using Ctrl+shift+B to build it, and then running with F5, instead of Ctrl+B or F7.

Several method below might be helpful:
1) Check your solution folder for a hidden ".vs" folder with a "config" sub-folder. If that folder exists and it has it's own applicationhost.config file you need to either rename (or delete) that file or edit it and make sure the website(s) configured inside match the ASP.NET web app(s) in your solution that you are trying to debug. Hope this helps.
2) Solution Explorer in Visual Studio, right click on the web project, chose properties and then navigated to the "web" tab. From there I changed the Project URL to another port number.
For example, if it was http://localhost:1052 - I changed it to http://localhost:4356.

New Asp.Net Project Template Dialog is empty

I have (just reinstalled) Visual Studio 2013 Professional (on Win 8.1) to try and fix this: If I try to create a new Web Project, for either .Net 4.5 or 4.5.1, then I see the screen below.
If I try to open an existing MVC 5 website (one I've just created through that wizard on another machine) - then it works just fine.
Equally, if I set the target framework to 4 then I get the previous MVC 4 template appear, and that works.
If I look in the Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\Web\CSharp\1033\ folder then I see WebApplication45 which appears to contain the content that this project template uses - so why is it broken!?
The machine did use to have VS2012 on it, and I notice that in the list of installed products for 2013 it has 'ASP.Net Web Frameworks and Tools 2012.2' - which I believe is a VS 2012 thing. So I'm wondering if that's interfering with it. But there's nothing on my Add/Remove programmes for this, so I don't know how to uninstall it!
Any help greatly appreciated before I throw my screen through the window :)
Please try the following:
Close VS, open Explorer and go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies
Delete the following assemblies if they exist:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.WindowsAzure.Contracts.dll
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.WindowsAzure.Explorer.dll
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Internal.Contracts.dll
Restart VS
In Tools > Extensions and Updates:
Update to lates VS2013 update (it is Update 3 now)
Install if not installed Microsoft ASP.NET and Web Tools
Install if not installed ASP.NET Web Forms MVC 4
Install if not installed MS VS ASP.NET MVC 5 Scaffolding
I solved it by removing all programs connected with .Net development and SQL (just being really cutthroat) - not just Visual Studio; going down my installed programs list from top to bottom:
Visual Studio 2013, obviously
All .Net Framework SDKs and Language Targeting Packs
All Azure tools SDKs (some start with 'Azure', one starts 'Windows Azure')
All SQL Server stuff - possibly too much, but I didn't need them outside of VS
IIS Express
I then rebooted and deleted all remaining Microsoft Visual Studio folders (I had v10, 11 and 12) from Program Files (x86) and all remaining SQL Server folders. SQL is also in the x64 program files, and that's used legitimately by the OS, so might want to skip that one.
I then rebooted again and reinstalled 2013 with Update 3 - and now the new project dialog works as expected.
It's most likely the removal of just one of those things that fixed it (my money is on clearing down the VS folders).
I fixed this by deleting these files from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.WindowsAzure.Contracts.dll
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.WindowsAzure.Explorer.dll
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Internal.Contracts.dll

this template attempted to load component assembly Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Project

I just installed Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate trial version for completing the MVC5 tutorial by Rick Anderson, which worht doing it.
The tutorial: http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/mvc-5/introduction/getting-started.
However, I created a blank solution first and then try to add an ASP.Net Application project, which is going to be my MVC5 tutorial project. And I got this weird message:
Error: this template attempted to load component assembly
'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Project, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. For more information on this problem
and how to enable this template, please see documentation on
Customizing Project Templates.
But I´m not customizing, I´m just creating a project out of a built in template.
Do you know how can I solve it?
Here is the solution:
In Visual Studio 2013, select Tools > Extensions and Updates
Check for updates. You should have the Azure SDK update available.
Download and install the Azure SDK. After this, everything should work fine.
If your updates are not turned on, enable your auto detection of updates in Tools > Options > Environment > Extensions.
If you have unspecified error related to E_fail(code), try this:
When creating a new MVC 5 application, change the framework version from 4.5.1 to 4.5, if that did not work change it to 4. Check the below image if it is not clear.
Another approach:
This is really important if you are installing Visual Studio 2013 on un-updated Windows 7.
there reason i am calling out "not updated is",
The reason that 'un-updated' matters is because Visual studio 2013 does not update the powershell that is required by VS2013 for most of the stuff.
The simple solution is to update Powershell to the latest version.
If you are not sure how to update powershell, you can use this tutorial.
So I stumbled upon this issue as well and would like to share how I was able to resolve this problem.
Tools -> Extensions and Updates -> Online -> NGet Package Manager: Click the download button once you have the NGet Package Manager selected. Make sure to restart your Visual Studio after you have downloaded the Manager.
This should do the trick
Close Visual Studio, run the VS executable with the command line option as shown below (you will likely have to supply the full path), and relaunch VS normally. This should re-initialize the templates, including the one that you are having problems with.
devenv.exe /installvstemplates
So I faced the same problem with Visual Studio 2013, and I don't know what's the problem but it appears that it only occurs when creating a new project, and choosing "Web" from the panel.
What I did was simply clicking on "Visual Studio 2012" just below it, and it worked !
