by

For CSS that are reused among the entire site I define them in the <head> section of the _Layout: <head> <link href=”https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5021552/@Url.Content(“~/Styles/main.css”)” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” /> @RenderSection(“Styles”, false) </head> and if I need some view specific styles I define the Styles section in each view: @section Styles { <link href=”https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5021552/@Url.Content(“~/Styles/view_specific_style.css”)” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” /> } Edit: It’s … Read more

Razor View throwing “The name ‘model’ does not exist in the current context”

Preprocessor directives in Razor
