I am trying to add Bundles to an existing ASP.NET Webforms solution but my bundles always render empty and I am unsure why. I have been following this blog post.
So far I have:
Global.asax.cs
protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) { BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles); } App_Start/BundleConfig.cs
public class BundleConfig { // For more information on Bundling, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=303951 public static void RegisterBundles(BundleCollection bundles) { bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/Global").Include( "~/js/jquery-{version}.js", "~/js/jquery-ui.js")); bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/GlobalHead").Include( "~/js/modernizr*")); bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/Global").Include( "~/css/site.css")); } } Site.Master
<head runat="server"> <asp:PlaceHolder runat="server"> <%: Scripts.Render("~/bundle/GlobalHead") %> <%: Styles.Render("~/Content/Global") %> </asp:PlaceHolder> </head> <body> <%: Scripts.Render("~/bundle/Global") %> </body> Web.Config
<namespaces> <add namespace="System.Web.Optimization" /> </namespaces> Update
To be clear, when I open a web page and inspect the resources with chrome dev tools, I can see
Content/Site.css bundle/Global.js bundle/GlobalHead.js But when inspecting them they have no content.

To enable bundling and minification, set the debug value to "false". You can override the Web. config setting with the EnableOptimizations property on the BundleTable class. The following code enables bundling and minification and overrides any setting in the Web.
To optimize the performance of an application I found that bundling and minification can significantly improve the performance. It can be applied on MVC as well as in ASP.NET web forms.
ASP.NET Web Forms is no longer an option for new development. It's shunned but not dead — supported as a legacy product, but finally exiled from the future of . NET.
Simple solution, I had some typing errors.
In the Site.Master I missed the 's' from the end of bundles. Making my Site.Master look like this.
<head runat="server"> <asp:PlaceHolder runat="server"> <%: Scripts.Render("~/bundles/GlobalHead") %> <%: Styles.Render("~/Content/Global") %> </asp:PlaceHolder> </head> <body> <%: Scripts.Render("~/bundles/Global") %> </body> If you love us?
