Bundling CSS and Scripts in Web Forms application

Question

I am here on a pickle about bundling my CSS and Scripts to my Web Forms application.

First of all, I'd like to point out that I was following this tutorial: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rickandy/archive/2012/08/14/adding-bundling-and-minification-to-web-forms.aspx

I have already in the App_Start the class BundleConfig that looks like this:

using System.Web;
using System.Web.Optimization;

namespace SitePessoal.Web
{
    public class BundleConfig
    {
        public static void RegisterBundles(BundleCollection bundles)
        {
            bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jquery").Include(
                        "~/Scripts/jquery/core/jquery-{version}.js"));

            bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jqueryui").Include(
                        "~/Scripts/jquery/core/jquery-ui-{version}.js"));

            bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/CSS/css").Include(
                        "~/CSS/Estilos.css", 
                        "~/CSS/Print.css", 
                        "~/CSS/Styles.css"));
        }
    }
}

Also, I have downloaded the Optimization package with Nugget, so afterwards I went to my Global.asax file and tried to register this in the Application_Start method like this:

void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{
    // Code that runs on application startup  
    BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);
    BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = true;
}

Unfortunately, this is where things do not work. Unfortunately, it keeps underlining the class with red and giving me the following messages:

Error   3   The name 'BundleTable' does not exist in the current context
Error   4   The name 'BundleTable' does not exist in the current context
Error   2   The name 'BundleConfig' does not exist in the current context 

Any ideas as to why this may be happening? Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Mad

Answer 1

I solved the problem @MadGatsu encountered following the same tutorial.

@Pricey is correct, and %MadGatsu correctly adds references to the Global.asax, including,

<%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.Optimization" %>
<script RunAt="server">        
    void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
          BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);

But there is a little more to it.

I deduce, based on the lack of Global.asax.cs, that we have Websites. In this case, we need to put our Bundleconfig.cs file in the special aspnet folder, App_Code. Do not add a App_Start folder to contain the file because it will not work. Simply moving my BundleConfig.cs to App_Code from App_Start corrected the 'BundleConfig' does not exist in the current context error.
