MVC - Using BundleConfig.cs and _Layout.cshtml from Shared Project
I have a few MVC projects that use a common header so I created a shared project and installed RazorGenerator. Each project now can just reference the shared project and have a partial view that refers to a view in the shared project. It works great.
Is there a way to use this shared project's "BundleConfig" or any of the other App_Start classes that are registered in my shared project's Global.asax? If I comment out the "BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);" line in each of my consuming projects, I was hoping those projects would defer to the Glabal.asax from the Shared Project , but this doesn't seem to be the case.
All my projects use the same css, js files, etc. I'm trying to eliminate as much redundancy as possible.
It also seems that although I can reference Views from the shared project, I can't delete the "_Layout.cshtml" file in the consuming projects and rely on the _Layout in the shared project, even if I put "RazorGenerator" as the name of the custom tool, creating a .cs file for it.
Basically, to give more detail, I made a "Headerview.cshtml" file in the Shared folder of the shared project and set "RazorGenerator" as the custom tool so it gets included in the resulting .dll file with some code in the controller for it, but that seems to be the limit of what I can do with a shared project.
I suppose I can stick my js/css files links explicitly in this shared Headerview.cshtml view, but I reference this view from the body of my consuming projects so the links would get added from inside the body instead of the head which isn't the best way to do things, especially with JS. I suppose I could make another shared view with no html in it except for links to the css files, and reference that, but it just feels kind of dirty. I'd rather see if I can get the BundleConfig working since there are probably some other common things I'd like to register in the future like custom events.
