<\/a> <\/p>\nLet me try to walk you through the feature with a few questions:<\/p>\n
1. What does the Browser Link feature look like?<\/strong><\/p>\n As mentioned earlier, \u201cRefresh Linked Browser\u201d is the only feature that we have for Preview. This shows up with a little Refresh icon This feature becomes active as soon as you navigate to a page in your current project. You could do F5, Ctrl+F5, \u201cView in Browser\u201d or open any browser and paste your requested url to get this started.<\/p>\n In the image below you can see that:<\/p>\n 1. \u201cRefresh Linked Browsers\u201d is active as you may have browsers opened at this point.<\/p>\n 2. Brower Link feature is ON by default.<\/p>\n 3. \u201cRefresh Linked Browsers\u201d has a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+Enter).<\/p>\n 2. How will I know which browsers are connected to VS?<\/strong><\/p>\n Once you navigate to your page using various browsers, they will be listed in a tooltip as you hover over the Refresh icon The tooltip will look like the image below. Note that the tooltip shows how many browsers are connected. It also lists the connections with their respective urls.<\/p>\n If there are no browsers open for the project currently open in Visual studio, the tool tip will look like the image below. At this point you can do a View in Browser of a page to start the connection.<\/p>\n 3. How does \u201cRefresh Linked Browsers\u201d work?<\/strong><\/p>\n Let us assume that you want to quickly see how \u201cDefault.aspx\u201d renders in various browsers.<\/p>\n Start off with launching \u201cBrowse with\u201d and select multiple browsers(IE, Firefox, Chrome etc). At this point, VS will show you that there are 3 browsers connected.<\/p>\n Make an edit to Default.aspx file . <\/em>Change text in <h1> ASP.net <\/h1> to ASP.NET 4.5. Now click on the refresh button or do Ctrl+Alt+Enter to save and refresh the page. This will update all the browsers at once. Note that, this will only refresh the browser. It will not navigate to the page for you.<\/p>\n 4. How do I know if Browser Link is turned ON?<\/strong><\/p>\n Go to \u201cView Source\u201d of your rendered page and you will see a script tag at the very bottom. See image below. The presence of this script indicated that Browser Link feature is enabled.<\/p>\n 4. How do I turn off Browser Link?<\/strong><\/p>\n You can uncheck \u201cEnable Browser Link\u201d and it will be turned off \u201c Browser Link\u201d for all future requests made.<\/p>\n You can also use the following appsettings in your web.config file.<\/p>\n 1. Set appSetting \u201cvs:EnableBrowserLink\u201d to \u201cfalse \u201c\u201c. This will disable Browser Link.<\/p>\n 2. Set debug= false in web.config file. This will also disable Browser Link. Note that debug= true is required for Browser Link feature to work.<\/p>\n<\/a> in your toolbar next to debug drop down .<\/p>\n\n
