I've been trying out the new minification and bundling feature in ASP.NET MVC 4, and it works great as long as you use the default folder conventions for css and js files. /Content /Scripts I usually put css and script in a folder called Static like this /Static/Css /Static/Js I tried to register my own bundles like this: public static class BundleCollectionExtensions { public static void RegisterScriptsAndCss(this BundleCollection bundles) { var bootstrapCss = new Bundle("~/Static/Css", new CssMinify()); bootstrapCss.AddDirectory("~/Static/Css", "*.css"); bootstrapCss.AddFile("~/Static/Css

I am trying to use MVC4's new "bundling and minification". For IE conditional comments, I'm still doing it the old way: <!--[if lt IE 9]><link href=.../><![endif]--> or <!--[if lt IE 9]>@Styles.Render("~/foo")<![endif]--> but I don't seem to get the automatic debug/release handling. Is there a built-in way to do this? How are others doing this? EDIT: Also it would be great to be able to include <noscript> tags inside the rendered output (used for fallbacks). Until I find a better way, I made an adaptor class called Bundles , which has the method: public static IHtmlString RenderStylesIe(string

In order to improve performance of our web pages, we are recommended to use CDN s to serve .js files on our web pages. That makes sense. Also, we are recommended to bundle our .js files in order to reduce the number of requests which are being made to server on load. So, we need to sit down and make decision between if we use CDN or bundle .js files. What are the pros and cons? Which ones make more sense? Matt Why can't you bundle them and place them are the CDN? It should hardly be a decision of one or the other? If you have to choose one or the other, it depends on how many .js files you are

As far as I can tell, the answer is no. The issue I'm seeing comes from the Include(params string[]) method in the System.Web.Optimization.Bundle class. Internally this invokes System.Web.Optimization.IncludeDirectory(string, string, bool) , which in turn uses this code: DirectoryInfo directoryInfo = new DirectoryInfo( HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(directoryVirtualPath)); While it is possible to set HttpContext.Current during a unit test, I can't figure out how to make its .Server.MapPath(string directoryVirtualPath) return a non-null string. Since the DirectoryInfo(string) constructor

From a brand-new ASP.NET MVC 4 Beta Web Application, I'm re-arranging my folders to match Rob Conery's VidPub.Web example Specifically, this means that the final directory structure for content looks like this VidPub.Web | ---Public | |---Images |--- *.png |---javascripts |--- *.js |---stylesheets |----themes |---base |--- images |--- *.css |----site.css However, when I change the following lines in _Layout.cshtml <link href="@System.Web.Optimization.BundleTable.Bundles.ResolveBundleUrl( "~/Content/css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="@System.Web.Optimization.BundleTable

I'm trying to use MVC4 bundling to group some of my less files, but it looks like the import path I'm using is off. My directory structure is: static/ less/ mixins.less admin/ user.less In user.less, I'm attempting to import mixins.less using this: @import "../mixins.less"; This used to work for me before when using chirpy with dotless, but now I noticed ELMAH was getting mad at me, saying this: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: You are importing a file ending in .less that cannot be found. File name: '../mixins.less' Am I supposed to use a different @import with MVC4? Some additional info Here
