Turn off the Browser Link feature of Visual Studio 2013

Recently, the company made new projects with MVC, upgraded the IDE to Visual Studio 2013 and found many requests for a local 49925 port at development time.

It's strange to think that Visual Studio 2013 was created by default in the creation of a project by the JavaScript file or the view file, found for a long time did not find, after the FireBug to see the code found below the page like the following code:

<script id= "__browserlink_initializationdata" type= "Application/json" >
{"appName": "Firefox", "RequestID ":" 23b71f085f334e97969864ab934745c5 "}
</script>
<script async=" Async "src=" http://localhost : 49925/4b38e516c0774211882dabde19ecda0f/browserlink "type=" Text/javascript ">

Then we searched for the name of Browserlink and found that Browserlink is a new feature of Visual Studio 2013.

What is Browser Link?

The function of this Browser link is to use a script file to frame a communication bridge before the process and the Visual studio IDE, and when Browser Link is enabled, Visual Studio injects a IHttpModule module into the Web site object, and then register a script above each page.

The Browser Link feature is implemented using SIGNALR technology.

Having said so much, the Browser Link function is used for what exactly.

The Broswer Link feature is now simple enough to refresh the page in the Visual Studio IDE by refreshing the pages that are already open in the browser.

There is an application scenario: If you are developing a page that needs to be compatible with IE, GOOGLE, FIREFOX, and mobile browsers, it is possible that you will use these processes to open your page at the same time, and if you find a problem, go back to the VS IDE and modify it to Tudio the IDE point "refresh linked Browsers" to refresh all browsers to see the effect.

Now this "Browser link" has only one refresh feature, but Browser link features the ability to write extensions that customize some of the features you need.

If you don't want to use this feature, just add the following code to the AppSettings node in the web.config.

1 <add key= "Vs:enablebrowserlink" value= "false"/>
