ASP.NET jQuery and master pages

Posted by Kristof in .NET, ASP.NET, MVC, Programming

Today I was trying to find out a way to use jQuery in one of my views. Since I include the jQuery in my master page I bumped into the problem that Visual Studio doesn’t recognize the jQuery in the child page.

So I tried some stuff, and I thought: I might share it as well here so you don’t spend time on looking up everything like I did.

First thing I tried is using the ///<reference path … /> syntax.

But this doesn’t work in <script …></script> tags. It only works in real (.js) javascript files.

I then used this ‘hack’ to make the intellisense work (and I don’t like hacks).

    <% if (false)
    { %>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.3.2-vsdoc.js"></script>
    <% } %>

Stuff like this really makes my code look like a hack. I’ll test tonight if I have different behavior in Visual Studio 2010.

And shepherds we shall be, for thee my Lord for thee, power hath descended forth from thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command. We shall flow a river forth to thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
