  Error System.Web.Http namespace not defined

  Nov 23, 2012 03:51 AM|LINK

  I am working in MVC3. It is not recognizing System.Web.Optimization & System.Web.Http namespace.

  Moreover, I am getting error "Type BundleCollection not defined".

  How can this be resolved?

  I am working in MVC3. It is not recognizing System.Web.Optimization & System.Web.Http namespace.

  This require http://nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization to be installed... is it installed?

  Thanks Nandip for Replying. As explained in the given link, I had run

  PM> Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization -Pre

  But still if I build Project it is showing "System.Web.Http namespace not defined".

  I am working in MVC3.

  Ohh.. I am sorry for incomplete answer earlier. Web optimization framework is introduced with MVC 4. Try with MVC 4 project it is included in default MVC 4 project template.

  I am able to use and define Bundle with MVC 3. there might be some other issue with respect to System.Web.Http. System.Web.Optimization was introduced with MVC 4 but I am able to use it with MVC 3 as well. I followed below step.

  • Created fresh MVC 3 project
  • Installed optimization framework from http://nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization
  • Added following code in Global.asax

  protected void Application_Start()
  {
      Bundle myBundle = new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/CommonJs").Include("~/Scripts/Common.js");
      BundleTable.Bundles.Add(myBundle);
  }

  Now I am able to browse with ~/bundles/CommonJs with minified JavaScript response same as in MVC 4.
