As accepted answer described, you can not use any C# code in external JS file. Here is what I normally do if I need to pass few controller links to my external .js file.

In C# (.cshtml)

In myfile.js

var _url1;
var _url2;

function initScript(url1, url2) {
    _url1 = url1;
    _url2 = url2;

   // other init. codes...

}
