Browser Link with ASP.NET Core v1.0 in Visual Studio 2015 Update 3
<p>I am using Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 and wanting to use the Browser Link feature with my ASP.NET Core v1.0 WebApp project... but I can't get Browser Link to work.</p>

<ol>
<li>Is Browser Link supported for ASP.NET Core v1.0 projects?</li>
</ol>

<p>I can't find much out there with regards to using Browser Link with ASP.NET Core.</p>

<p>My project builds OK, but the Browser Link dashboard always shows as "No current connections" when running both with or without debug.</p>

<p>In my project.json i'm importing the Browser Link dependancy;</p>

<h1>Update 1</h1>

<p>I have added the following to the root  element of my web.config;</p>

<pre><code>&lt;appSettings&gt;
  &lt;add key="vs:EnableBrowserLink" value="true"/&gt;
&lt;/appSettings&gt;
&lt;system.web&gt;
  &lt;compilation debug="true"&gt;&lt;/compilation&gt;
