How to include js files in the view. ASP.NET MVC 4

Question

I wonder why my js file work when I call it in the view:

@section Scripts {  


        

Answer 1

I'm having the same problem. In my Layout.cshtml file I have @RenderSection("Scripts", required: false) at the bottom before my closing body tag.

In my index.cshtml I have

@section Scripts{
    
}

But it's not working. It was working fine on the homepage before I implemented the shared layout file. Would like to have a better understanding of whats going on here...
