So I am new to ASP.NET MVC 4 (well, I used 3 a little).
Anyway, in my BundleConfig.cs file, I am trying to load the Twitter Bootstrap css files and an additional s
I don't use bundles for Bootstrap (as an exception), but its minified versions, so this works for me:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<!--[if lt IE 7]> <html class="no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8 lt-ie7" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7]> <html class="no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8]> <html class="no-js lt-ie9" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if gt IE 8]><!--><html class="no-js"><!--<![endif]-->
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">

padding-bottom: 40px;
}
</style>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="@Url.Content("~/Content/bootstrap-responsive.min.css")">
@Styles.Render("~/Content/less")
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/modernizr")
</head>
<body>
The part with the inline style is from http://www.initializr.com/ for the top NavBar, if you don't need it, just remove.
Alternatively, you can do the same in your styles.css file:
@import url('bootstrap.min.css');
body {
padding-top: 60px;
padding-bottom: 40px;
}
@import url('bootstrap-responsive.min.css');
You CSS Code below
As paul correctly stated, bundles as set to automatically ignore 'min' files. But ignoring this rule all together is a bad practice, please refer to this answer Bundler not including .min files to a better solution (check both first and second answers).
Just to let anybody else know who cant find a working solution easily in this long thread, I had the exact same issue and i solved it in the same way as suggested in edits found at the bottom of the actual question!
I started a new project MVC4 Web Application, created routes for bootstrap bundles in the exact same code shown above:
bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/css").Include(
"~/Content/bootstrap.min.css",
"~/Content/bootstrap-responsive.min.css",
"~/Content/site.css"));
But due to unknown reasons, it was not loading.. Finally i gave up and decided to google it and found this page.
I tried adding the following as the first line in BundleConfig.cs file. Recompiled and everything started working and now the styles were correctly being loaded now.
bundles.IgnoreList.Clear();
Maybe this helps somebody.
The default behaviour is for the IgnoreList to ignore any minified scripts.
You can either remove the '.min' from their names, or clear the IgnoreList.
