How to add reference to System.Web.Optimization for MVC-3-converted-to-4 app

Update
Version 1.1.x is available, read the release notes: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization

The Microsoft.Web.Optimization package is now obsolete. With ASP.NET (MVC) 4 and higher you should install the Microsoft ASP.NET Web Optimization Framework:

  • Install the package from nuget:Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization
  • Create and configure bundle(s) in App_Start\BundleConfig.cs:public class BundleConfig { public static void RegisterBundles(BundleCollection bundles) { bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/Scripts/jquery").Include( "~/Scripts/Lib/jquery/jquery-{version}.js", "~/Scripts/Lib/jquery/jquery.*", "~/Scripts/Lib/jquery/jquery-ui-{version}.js") ); bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/Scripts/knockout").Include( "~/Scripts/Lib/knockout/knockout-{version}.js", "~/Scripts/Lib/knockout/knockout-deferred-updates.js") ); } }
  • Call the RegisterBundles() function from Application_Start() in your global.asax.cs:using System.Web.Optimization; protected void Application_Start() { ... BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles); ... }
  • In your view.cshtml include the Optimization namespace and render the bundle(s):@using System.Web.Optimization @Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/jquery") @Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/knockout")
