In relation to this stackoverflow post, I would like to ask if it's still possible to update a workspace whenever a file gets changed (externally).

Background to my question is, whether it is possible to make a Visual Studio extension that provides the most current version of the Roslyn solution model like it is already possible in Visual Studio 2015 (AFAIK). I guess this could be easily supported for VS2013 by implementing such an extension. Otherwise, when using the MSBuildWorkspace, loading large solutions for every update can take quite some time, which we want to avoid by using a continously updated model.

Maybe this is possible by using a FileSystemWatcher and calling some API function that checks the solution for changes?
