Everyone has their preferred workflow with .Net 5+ and mine is to use dotnet watch. "watch" is great and it automatically reloads the app whenever it detects a file change. Unfortunately it doesn't detect changes to Razor Views (.cshtml) by default. 
To make it monitor these files open up the .csproj file and add the following entry:
<pre><code>&lt;ItemGroup&gt;
 &lt;Watch Include="**\*.cshtml;*.razor;*.js;*.css" Exclude="**\obj\**\*;bin\**\*" /&gt;
&lt;/ItemGroup&gt;
</code></pre>Now restart dotnet watch and any changes to the cshtml files should now be recognised.

Including CSHTML files when using dotnet watch

A place to store my random coding thoughts.
