Methods

Initialize

#
public static void Initialize()

Remarks: Code-based hot reload will only work when a debugger is attached. This will also enable support to hot reload xeto and jeto files if in use. Note that at the time of this writing, code based hot reload only works with Visual Studio 2022 on Windows.
