Research direction

Start by reviewing the C# Dev Kit and related extension commands or entry points for restarting services without reloading VS Code. Reproduce the mixed C#/F# workflow described in the issue and determine what must refresh for F# changes to appear in C# files. Done means the Dev Kit can be restarted independently and the editor reflects those changes without restarting VS Code.

Describe the feature you'd like

Hi, is there a way to restart the dev kit without completely restarting vscode? I'm working in a mixed C#/F# solution so I frequently need to restart vscode so that the F# changes are visible in the editor for C# files. This gets quite cumbersome with repeated reloads.
