What is a 'Rude Edit' in the context of .NET MAUI?

A 'Rude Edit' is a code change—such as modifying a method signature or adding a static constructor—that cannot be applied while the app is running and requires a full rebuild.

Can this skill help if I am using VS Code instead of Visual Studio?

Yes, it includes specific JSON configuration settings and environment variable exports tailored for the VS Code C# Dev Kit environment.

What types of Hot Reload does this skill support?

It supports XAML Hot Reload, C# Hot Reload (Edit and Continue), MauiReactor, C# Markup, and Blazor Hybrid styles of development.

How do I enable detailed logging for Hot Reload issues?

The skill provides specific export commands for variables like Microsoft_CodeAnalysis_EditAndContinue_LogDir and HOTRELOAD_XAML_LOG_MESSAGES to generate diagnostic logs.

Why does the skill check for UTF-8 with BOM encoding?

The .NET Hot Reload mechanism specifically requires C# files to be saved with UTF-8 with BOM encoding to correctly identify and apply delta updates.
