Best way to iterate on XAML UI without rebuilding?

07 Oct 2026, 05:53

Hi everyone,

I’m new to NoesisGUI and have been experimenting with a small UI using XAML. One thing I’m wondering about is the best workflow for making frequent layout and styling changes.

At the moment, I’m rebuilding and restarting the application whenever I change the XAML, which gets a little slow when I’m tweaking things like margins, fonts, templates and animations.

Is there a recommended way to use the XAML hot-reload workflow during development? I’m particularly interested in whether changes can be previewed directly while the application is running, and if there are any limitations compared with doing a full rebuild.

Any tips from people who use NoesisGUI regularly would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hot-Reload is explained here.

It is enabled by default in XamlPlayer and any sample launched with the '--root path_to_data' command line.
