I am testing Visual Studio 2013 Preview. The Browser Link feature (codenamne Artery) lets me update browsers I have opened to my web site using the Ctrl-Alt-Enter sequence.
At Build 2013, they demonstrated a feature of VS2013 Preview where the user can configure it so the running browsers automatically refresh whenever the HTML and CSS is modified.
How do I do that with Visual Studio 2013 Preview?
Approach 1: One can auto refresh the webpage using the meta tag within the head element of your HTML using the http-equiv property. It is an inbuilt property with HTML 5. One can further add the time period of the refresh using the content attribute within the Meta tag.
Open the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X) and search on 'live preview' or 'html preview' to see a list of available HTML preview extensions.
To refresh the currently active viewChoose Refresh from the Window menu, or click the Refresh button in the toolbar.
That feature isn't in the Preview build. It was an extension I wrote for a newer nightly build of VS2013. It will be available in the final release of VS2013
