MVC - Accessing css, image, js files in view folder

Question

In my mvc 3 application, assuming I have a folder structure like \\Views\\Account\\js\\custom.js How do I add that file to my view in the Account\\index.c

Answer 1

The web.config file in the /Views folder restricts all access to files in the folder by default:

You could change that, but it's probably more secure overall to not store the assets in the views folder.
