.NET Demon

Setting up LiveReload integration

.NET Demon only supports the LiveReload extension for Chrome. LiveReload integration may not work with other browsers.

.NET Demon acts as a server for the browser reload system LiveReload. When integration is set up, every time .NET Demon builds your web application, it reloads the Chrome tab containing the web application using the LiveReload browser extension. This means you don't need to reload the tab manually to see your changes.

To set up LiveReload integration:

  1. Set Chrome as your default browser.
    In Windows 7, go to Control Panel -> Default Programs. Select Chrome from the list on the left, and click Set this program as default.
  2. In Visual Studio, on the .NET Demon menu, select Enable LiveReload Integration.
  3. Install the LiveReload Chrome extension from the LiveReload website.
  4. Restart Chrome.
  5. Open your web application in Chrome. 
    On the Chrome toolbar, click the LiveReload icon 

When .NET Demon builds your web application, LiveReload will reload the tab for you.
