Visual Studio 2019 to get .NET Hot Reload User Experience for editing managed code at runtime

 

If you are a developer working on WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation), Windows Forms, ASP.NET Core, Console, etc. the new Hot Reload experience of Visual Studio 2019 will be helpful for you. With this feature enabled, you can now modify managed code of your application while running in Debug Mode.

 

You won't need to pause the execution or hit a breakpoint. As long as you are in debug mode and can enter into EnC (Edit and Continue) mode, you are good to go. Just add your code and click on the "apply code changes" (ALT + F10) button in the toolbar to apply them immediately.
