I am having trouble with getting my page to use my javascript file. I have the file in my Areas/Export/Views/Export folder and it is called Export.js
This is how I reference it in my view
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Areas/Export/Views/Export/Export.js")"></script>
Everything I have seen online says this should work but it is not. Am I missing a reference somewhere else or what is the deal?
Thanks
The problem is you're storing js files in your view folder. The view folder has it's own web.config which stops you from requesting static files from it.
Your options
Modify the web.config to allow the js files through
Move your js files out of the view folder.
Use MVC bundling which should be able to access the view folder and have it bundle the script into a different repo.
Number 2 is best practice in my opinion. Was there a particular reason why you have the script in the view folder to begin with?
Update
To allow js files in you view folder add the following to the web.config located in your area's views folder.
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<add name="JavaScriptHandler" path="*.js" verb="*"
preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" />
<remove name="BlockViewHandler"/>
<add name="BlockViewHandler" path="*" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.HttpNotFoundHandler" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>

I want to configure a wildcard mapping for a specific path, and send the requests to a HttpHandler. My URLs look like this:
http://www.example.com/api/v1/conversation/forums/232?some=value
http://www.example.com/api/v1/conversation/posts/212
This configuration doesnt match the URLs above.
<location path="api/v1/conversation">
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<add name="ApiProxy" verb="*" path="*" preCondition="integratedMode" type="DemoProject.ApiProxy, DemoProject" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
</location>
It works when I add an extension to my URLs:
http://www.example.com/api/v1/conversation/forums/232.axd?some=value
http://www.example.com/api/v1/conversation/posts/212.axd
How do I make this work extension-less?
It turned out, that this problem was related to my website was running Umbraco CMS. Umbraco CMS has an AppSetting called "umbracoReservedPaths", which asks Umbraco to ignore specific paths.
The value was set to:
<add key="umbracoReservedPaths" value="~/umbraco,~/install/" />
After adding ~/api/, everything worked as expected:
<add key="umbracoReservedPaths" value="~/umbraco,~/install/,~/api/" />
Masters,
In my MVC application many pages are static (HTML pages).
I've to create both .cshtml and plain HTML pages.
HTML version is also in use by another module.
When I try with return View("Mypage.html") it fails.
Is there any way to consume plain "HTML" pages for my View.
Please help.
What I did in the past was to register ".html" pages to be interpreted as dynamic pages, too. (I.e. just like ASPX).
This can be done through your "web.config" file:
....
<
system.web>
<compilation ...>
<buildProviders>
<add extension=".html"
type="System.Web.Compilation.PageBuildProvider" />
</buildProviders>
....and
....
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<remove name="WebServiceHandlerFactory-Integrated" />
<add name="PageHandlerFactory-Integrated-HTML" path="*.html"
verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG" type="System.Web.UI.PageHandlerFactory"
resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="integratedMode" />
</handlers>
this works well with IIS 7 and IIS 7.5 (and probably on above versions, too). If you are using IIS 6, you have to do it through the IIS Management Console.
Hope this helps..
I had started creating a new theme while using v1.6.1.
Things were not going well with a custom module creation so I decided to start from scratch. This time I am using the source from V1.7
I copied my custom theme folder, pasted it into the themes folder of the new 1.7 project and ran the site. I could see the theme in my dashboard so I set it to the current theme.
Now when I view my site NONE of the images are loading. The style sheets are loading, though none of the images - either from the style sheet or from any views - are loading.
My images are in myTheme/content/images - which as I understand it is how 1.6.1 required things to be laid out.
My content folder has a web.config as does my images folder. It's the same config used in 1.6.1 so I'm wondering if something has changed.
In one of my theme views I have the following code - this worked in 1.6.1:
<img src="#Url.Content(Html.ThemePath(WorkContext.CurrentTheme,"/Content/Images/phoneBullet.png"))" alt="T:" />
If I output this to my front-end I get:
~/Themes/PerformanceAbrasives/Content/Images/phoneBullet.png
This tells me things appear to be in the correct place - though I'm wondering if my web.config is now out of date?
I have this - there is a copy in content and a copy in images:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="webpages:Enabled" value="false" />
</appSettings>
<system.web>
<httpHandlers>
<!-- iis6 - for any request in this location, return via managed static file handler -->
<add path="*" verb="*" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" />
</httpHandlers>
</system.web>
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
<clientCache cacheControlMode="UseMaxAge" cacheControlMaxAge="7.00:00:00" />
</staticContent>
<handlers accessPolicy="Script,Read">
<!--
iis7 - for any request to a file exists on disk, return it via native http module.
accessPolicy 'Script' is to allow for a managed 404 page.
-->
<add name="StaticFile" path="*" verb="*" modules="StaticFileModule" preCondition="integratedMode" resourceType="File" requireAccess="Read" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Any pointers?
UPDATE
Ok... so if I set my project to use Visual Studios internal development server then all is well - if I tell it to use Local IIS Web server - use IIS Express (http://localhost:30333/) - then it doesn't work...
UPDATE 2
Ok - now running from IIS 7 and images do not load... stylesheets seem ok, but images are not.. grrr
any ideas so I don't run into this problem when I deploy?
Ok - I figured it....
You only need the web.config in my Content directory - not in both content AND images
I would like to have define a bundle like this:
bundles.Add(
new StyleBundle("~/style.css").Include(
//...
));
If the bundle name is just "~/style" this works, but with the file extension it always returns a 404. I suspect the server searches for CSS and JS files on the drive and ignores the bundling system, but I can't find anyone else who is trying to include file extensions in bundle names. Is this possible to do without something like a URL rewrite?
You could add the following to your <system.webServer> section in web.config:
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" />
This will ensure that requests for static resources such as .js and .css will pass through the managed modules and be intercepted by ASP.NET MVC.
As an alternative to enabling runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests for all requests you could configure them only for the urls you need to use. So inside the <handlers> add the following:
<handlers>
<!-- ... -->
<add name="scriptBundle" verb="*" path="script.js" type="System.Web.Optimization.BundleHandler, System.Web.Optimization" preCondition="managedHandler" />
<add name="cssBundle" verb="*" path="style.css" type="System.Web.Optimization.BundleHandler, System.Web.Optimization" preCondition="managedHandler" />
</handlers>
I can't get intellisense for my own html helpers. My CustomHtmlHelpers.cs looks like this:
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Text;
using System.Web;
namespace laget.Web.Helpers
{
public static class CustomHtmlHelpers
{
//MY HELPERS
}
}
and in my Web.config:
<pages>
<namespaces>
<add namespace="laget.Web.Helpers" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
<add namespace="System.Web.WebPages"/>
<add namespace="System.Web.Helpers" />
</namespaces>
</pages>
If I put <#using laget.Web.Helpers> in my view, I get the intellisense issue fixed.
Should it not be enough with the code in Web.config?
Sometimes it doesn't seem to work right away. Try closing the .cshtml file, and re-opening it. Then if that doesn't work, try restarting Visual Studio. Also make sure you actually compiled your project, intellisense won't work with non-compiled helpers.
I'm pretty sure that you're not editing the correct Web.config file.
You need to add your namespace to the one in your Views directory.
<system.web.webPages.razor>
<host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<pages pageBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage">
<namespaces>
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
<add namespace="laget.Web.Helpers" />
</namespaces>
</pages>
</system.web.webPages.razor>
You actually don't need to restart Visual Studio in most cases. All you need to do is close the .cshtml file and reopen it!
It needs it on the local page. I'm pretty sure this has to do with Namespace resolution. It isn't exactly sure what you are referring to without the local using statement.
I ran into this today as well. Sometimes just closing the Razor view's window in Visual Studio and re-opening it will do the trick without having to do a full Visual Studio restart.
I tried to solve an issue like this one yesterday. I had e pre-compiled dll (project name ie: MyHtmlHelpers) containing helpers and lot of other classes.
I had the assembly referenced in the web project and the all "standard"-helpers showed up in intellisense but, even though I added the namespace to both web.config in the root and in the views-folder nothing worked. When running the project helpers works, but not in intellisense.
I added a new class and wrote a new html helper inside the web project, added the namespace to web.config. And that worked.
After some hours add tried my last card, adding the MyHtmlHelpers-project to the same solution as my webproject. That did the trick. I diden't change anything in the configs just added the project to the same solution and changed the reference to point at the project insted of the compiled dll.
Isen't that strange? A VS-bug?
I found that i was adding the reference to the wrong web.config. It's not the main config but the web.config in the views directory...
So now I will show you the steps
1.Create or open an existing class library project (if you open an existing one be sure to remove the MVC5 nuget package)
2.Add the MVC (5.0) nuget package (
right click project in solution explorer -> Manage NuGet Packages -> search for MVC and install “Microsoft ASP.NET MVC”)
3.Close any and all open .cshtml files
4.Right click project -> Properties -> Build -> change Output path to your project “bin/”
5.Add the following minimal Web.config to the root of your class library project
( the web config file is solely needed for intellisense. Configuration (via Web.config)
should be done in the WebApplication hosting your ClassLibrary assembly)
6.Clean and Build the solution.
7.Open cshtml file and try now :)
I found that if it still doesn't work, you may need to go to the properties of the custom class and change the build action from "content" to "compile". That resolved it for me.
I try all of this solutions, one more thing which i didnt find is that in root web.config i must change webpages:Version from 2.0.0.0 to 3.0.0.0.
Open and close all .cshtml files and it's worked.
<appSettings>
<add key="webpages:Version" value="3.0.0.0" />
<add key="webpages:Enabled" value="false" />
