MVC 4 Razor Object doesn't support property or method 'dataTable'

Question

I\'m a noob to MVC, jquery and DataTables. I get a Microsoft Visual Studio warning dialog when I hit F5 to build and bring up the site locally for development/debug:

Answer 1

OK,

Remove the {} between the () of the datatable

write like this

 $(document).ready(function () {
    $('#table_id').dataTable();
 });

Fiddle example

When you want to add options to the datatable you use the {} in order to consume the options

like this:

$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').dataTable( {
    "bPaginate": false,
    "bLengthChange": false,
    "bFilter": true,
    "bSort": false,
    "bInfo": false,
    "bAutoWidth": false
   } );
} );
