How to refresh Powershell_ise for contents modified outside the IDE.
Most of the time i would have opened both Powershell_ise and notepad++
If i does changes in Powershell_ise , notepad++ asks for reload but if i modify in notepad++ there is no way to refresh in Powershell_ise.
Whether any way to refresh the content or am i overlooking any feature which provides this?
PowerShell ISE does not support refreshing the changed files automatically. It is not there even in ISE v3.
There is connect suggestion on this topic: https://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/feedback/details/711915/open-ise-files-should-update-when-edited-externally
However, this can be done using PowerShell ISE Object model and PowerShell eventing. Explore $psise.CurrentFile and $psise.CurrentPowerShellTab.Files collection. This must give you enough information to write your own simple addon.
