How can I include css files from an MVC partial control?

Question

I\'m using ASP.NET MVC and I have a partial control that needs a particular CSS & JS file included. Is there a way to make the parent page render the script

Answer 1

If I have requirements for CSS/Javascript in a partial view, I simply make sure that any page that may include the partial view, either directly or as content retrieved from AJAX, has the CSS/Javascript included in it's headers. If the page has a master page, I add a content placeholder in the master page header and populate it in the child page. To get intellisense in the partial view, I add the CSS/Javascript includes in the partial view but wrapped with an if (false) code block so they are not included at runtime.

<% if (false) { %>
