Insert javascript file in cshtml page

Question

I'd like in an .cshtml page, insert an .js page.

I tried this :

<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/MyFile.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>

No problem with the same code in the shared/_layout.cshtml (in the header section)

When I execute the application, this file is not present in the source code (not include).

Any idea ?

Thanks,

I used Areas, then I tried several level of ../../.. but same

@Kris-I did you try "/scripts/MyFile.js" without ~?

Your code is correct (assuming you are using Razor templating in MVC3). The only way this would not work is if the path to your script is wrong.

yes with razor :) The .js is in the same folder than the others. But the others are called from /shared/_layout.cshtml

The ~/ in the Url means that the path should be relative to the root of your solution - is this definitely using the right path?
