  _Layout.cshtml

  Aug 02, 2012 05:28 PM|LINK

  I am just starting my journey from ASPX web Forms to MVC 4. In testing I have found the following and I want to understand why...

  This works in my _Layout.cshtml =>

  @Scripts.Render( @ViewBag.JQuery )
  @Scripts.Render( @ViewBag.Scripts )
  

  However this does not:

  @{
            if (ViewBag.JQuery != null) { Scripts.Render(ViewBag.JQuery); }
            if (ViewBag.Scripts != null) { Scripts.Render(ViewBag.Scripts); }
        }
  

  All I need is a brief explination, thanks.

  Once you're in code-mode in razor, you need an @ prefixing an expression to render it. Otherwise it's just returning the rendered html and nobody is using it.

  So:

  @if(..)

  {

     // C# code-mode

     @Scripts.Render(...);

  }
