The name 'Scripts' does not exists in the current context in MVC

C# Problem Overview

In my mvc application, In the _Layout.cshtml has code below...

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>@ViewBag.Title - My ASP.NET Application</title>
    @Styles.Render("~/Content/css")
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/modernizr")

</head>

But the problem is it says The name 'Scripts' does not exists in the current context.

I have already added the assembly to the reference and to the Bundle config as using System.Web.Optimization;

This happens for @styles also.. What should I do?

C# Solutions

Solution 1 - C#

Make sure your ~/Views/Web.Config adds the System.Web.Optimization namespace:

<system.web.webPages.razor>
    <pages>
      <namespaces>
        <add namespace="System.Web.Optimization"/>
      </namespaces>
    </pages>
</system.web.webPages.razor>

Solution 2 - C#

The following in .chtml solves the problem

@using System.Web.Optimization
@Scripts.Render("~/Content/css")
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/modernizr")

Solution 3 - C#

Please Follow My Step will Clear this

First

Install Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimisation
Check that the App_Start Folder contains a BundleConfig.cs File.
Add <namespaces> <add namespace="System.Web.Optimization"/> </namespaces> in Views/web.config File
Add BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles); in Global.asax.cs
Rebuild and Run it

Solution 4 - C#

There is still intellisense problem, you can add this code to Application_Start() method that inside global.asax file.

BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);

Solution 5 - C#

In VisualStudio 2019,I was able to solve this error. Microsoft.Web.Optimization is now included in the 'Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization' package. Using NuGet Packing Manager download the package. In .cshtml file add "@using System.Web.Optimization;

Solution 6 - C#

The easiest way to fix this issue is by downloading (Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization) from Nuget Package Manager.

Steps:

Right-click on the Solution.
Choose "Manage Nuget packages for solutions"
Search for (Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization) and download--> apply it on the project.
Close all the open pages in Visual Studio, and re-open them,

Solution 7 - C#

you probably need to add the nuget package

Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization

to your project.
