To reload a single file:

• ⇧⌘P
• type "Revert File"

On Windows:

• Ctrl + Shift + P

Tested in VSCode v1.18.1 on Windows

Answer 3

Right-Click your sln (Will say 0/n solutions) In the bottom row of dialog it will say reload project solutions. If it's not present, then it was just reloaded most likely. Try to run build again.

Answer 4

EDIT: In the meanwhile a reload button has been added to the file explorer widget.

Use the workbench.action.reloadWindow command. Go to File -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shotcuts and define a shortcut for this command. On my system it's placed on Ctrl+F5. The entry in keybindings.json looks like this:

{
  "key": "ctrl+f5",
  "command": "workbench.action.reloadWindow",
  "when": "editorTextFocus"
}
