I tried to automatically reload ASP.NET Core project as I do using Angular with Node or NPM.

When I change the code of the .NET Core project and save, I want the web page to be automatically refreshed in the web browser.

run this command in project console

dotnet watch run

same works for visual studio code

From Develop ASP.NET Core apps using a file watcher (for 3.0)

dotnet watch is a tool that runs a .NET Core CLI command when source files change. For example, a file change can trigger compilation, test execution, or deployment.

The link above contains a tutorial with two sample projects:

  1. WebApp (an ASP.NET Core web API) and
  2. WebAppTests (unit tests for the web API).

Alternatively, you can also this nuget package for runtime compilation.
