my login page :

@model LoginViewModel
@{
  ViewBag.Title = "Log in";
 }

 <div class="row">
     @using (Html.BeginForm("Login", "Account", new { ReturnUrl = ViewBag.ReturnUrl }, FormMethod.Post, new { @class = "bootstrap-admin-login-form" }))
{
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
    @Html.ValidationSummary(true)

    <h1>Login</h1>
    <div class="form-group">
        <input class="form-control" type="text" name="Email" placeholder="Email">
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Email, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <input class="form-control" type="password" name="Password" placeholder="Password">
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Password, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <div>
            <div class="checkbox">
                @Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.RememberMe)
                @Html.LabelFor(m => m.RememberMe)
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <button class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" type="submit">Submit</button>
}
</div>
@section Scripts {
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
 }

in my Web.Config file i put this:

 <system.webServer>
   <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
     <remove name="BundleModule" />
     <add name="BundleModule" type="System.Web.Optimization.BundleModule" />
     <remove name="FormsAuthentication" />
     <remove name="ApplicationInsightsWebTracking" />
     <add name="ApplicationInsightsWebTracking" type="Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Extensibility.Web.RequestTracking.WebRequestTrackingModule, Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Extensibility.Web" preCondition="managedHandler" />
   </modules>
   <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
 </system.webServer>

I saw a lot of solutions on the web, both on server and project side ! I enabled the static content in windows features. I changed the BundleConfig.cs file as told here Bundler not including .min files, but nothing worked for me !

NB: One of my pages has some styles defined in the razor file, it's rendering well ! so I think that the problem is somewhere within the bundle file !

can anyone help me please ?

<==== EDIT =====>

I just put in my Web.Config file :

  <compilation debug="false" targetFramework="4.5" />

and the result in my local machine is without styles (just like the remote one) if it can help someone to understand...

Did you check in global.asax if you are registering bundles? In Application_Start method, you should have this line: BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles); — Márcio Gonzalez

@Neps I tried to click on <link href="/Test/Deploy/Content/Theme?v=A1Wwh5B5yTT6Q-34hA0bU7wzaNpIMgCZT8xJ-IAWWVY1" rel="stylesheet"/> and I got : HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory. — NTinkicht

@Neps I enabled the directory browsing in IIS, and when I clicked again on the same link, I saw that the bundle is working ! because it took me to the directory where my css files are ! I really don't understand why it's not rendering in my page ! — NTinkicht

I solved the problem!

Thanks to Bundling & minification not applying css & js using Asp.net 4.0 C# !

All I had to do is to change in my bundleConfig.cs file the name from :

  bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/Theme").Include(
            "~/Content/bootstrap.css",
            "~/Content/bootstrap-theme.css",
            "~/Content/Theme/css/bootstrap-admin-theme.css",
            "~/Content/Theme/css/site.css"));

to

  bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/allcss").Include(
            "~/Content/bootstrap.css",
            "~/Content/bootstrap-theme.css",
            "~/Content/Theme/style/bootstrap-admin-theme.css",
            "~/Content/Theme/style/site.css"));

The answer by the author is correct but its not helpful. I had to look a little more deeper to solve this issue. I found that when you release the application to production or whatever reason and your bundle.config file is not configured properly then you will have CSS/JS not rendered problem. In order to solve this i had to make some changes in bundle.config file. All the style files in the same folder go under one Virtual path and if you have other CSS files that are located under different folder you have to create a new bundle for those. e.g. i had my custom css called "site.css" and "bootstrap.css" in same folder so i created

bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/allcss").Include(
                  "~/Content/bootstrap.css",
                  "~/Content/site.css"

                  ));`

Then i also had font-awsome which i wanted to include in the project. so i created another bundle

bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/css/font-awsome").Include(
                 "~/Content/css/font-awesome.css"
            ));

And afterwards i add both paths to my Layout.cshtml file.

 @Styles.Render("~/Content/allcss")
@Styles.Render("~/Content/css/font-awsome")

Works like a charm.

sir, are you sure you are referring to "bundle.config" and not BundleConfig.cs? if so, I couldn't find it. Can you tell me where it is? I am new to mvc

If the website is SSL secured, make sure you have a fully qualified address for your resources. That is the first thing that comes to my mind.

no, I just checked, it's not SSL secured ! it's http not https !

TGarrett Over a year ago

Remove the extensions from the bundle names then. This will cause .NET to process the request and run it through the BundleModule. Try that out eh.

NTinkicht Over a year ago

can you take one bundle from my file and remove its extention please ? I don't understand what you want to say ! new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jquery") has no extension !

TGarrett Over a year ago

Add this to your web config then, under system.webserver. <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"> <remove name="BundleModule" /> <add name="BundleModule" type="System.Web.Optimization.BundleModule" /> </modules>

NTinkicht Over a year ago

I already put it in my web.config file ! but seems it's not working too ! I just added that in my problem description, you can have a look
