How to use MauiHotReloadHelper

Question

I created a MAUI project with MainPage without Xaml code

public class MainPage : ContentPage
{
	public MainPage()
	{
		Content = new Label { Text = "Hello world!" };
	}
}

I want to use Hot Reload from VSCode. For this I use Clancey's Reloadify3000 library. The library listens for changes in files and builds a new dll, which it sends to the device and loads via assembly.Load. For each new class, it calls RegisterReplacedView and then TriggerReload.

Both events work correctly, but hot-reload does not work

I also checked the resulting dll. Everything looks right

Maybe I'm using MauiHotReloadHelper incorrectly

Hello,

NET Multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI) XAML Hot Reload is a Visual Studio feature that enables you to view the result of XAML changes in your running app.

As described in the doc - XAML Hot Reload for .NET MAUI - .NET MAUI | Microsoft Learn: XAML Hot Reload doesn't reload C# code, including event handlers.

You said you are using VSCode( not VS ), and you create MainPage without XAML so you cannot use HotReload. And you are using a third-party library (might be a VS Extension), it's not supported on Q&A. It's recommended that you try to create a new issue at their repository- https://github.com/Clancey/Reloadify3000 for further help.

Best Regards,

Wenyan Zhang
