How do I add BundleConfig cs to my project

Question

I have an ASP Net MVC project and I want to implement bundling  but everything I can find on the internet directs me to open BundleConfig cs in App Start - however this file does not exist in my project  I have only three files in that folder  FilterConfig  RouteConfig and WebApiConfig   Bundle config wasn t generated when I created the solution  IIRC it was a blank ASP NET MVC project at the beginning    It seems like this should be really easy to do  but I just plain cannot figure it out   P S  Just to clarify to those not reading closely  this is for a MVC4  Net 4 5 app created from scratch  The solution is marked below

If you are using  MVC 5  you may not see the file  and you should follow these steps  http   www techjunkieblog com 2015 05 aspnet-mvc-empty-project-adding html  If you are using  ASP NET 5  it has stopped using  bundling and minification  instead was replaced by gulp  bower  and npm  More information see https   jeffreyfritz com 2015 05 where-did-my-asp-net-bundles-go-in-asp-net-5

BundleConfig is nothing more than bundle configuration moved to separate file  It used to be part of app startup code  filters  bundles  routes used to be configured in one class   To add this file  first you need to add the Microsoft AspNet Web Optimization nuget package to your web project   Install-Package Microsoft AspNet Web Optimization   Then under the App Start folder create a new cs file called BundleConfig cs  Here is what I have in my mine  ASP NET MVC 5  but it should work with MVC 4    using System Web  using System Web Optimization   namespace CodeRepository Web       public class BundleConfig                  For more information on bundling  visit http   go microsoft com fwlink  LinkId 301862         public static void RegisterBundles BundleCollection bundles                        bundles Add new ScriptBundle    bundles jquery   Include                             Scripts jquery- version  js                  bundles Add new ScriptBundle    bundles jqueryval   Include                             Scripts jquery validate                      Use the development version of Modernizr to develop with and learn from  Then  when you re                ready for production  use the build tool at http   modernizr com to pick only the tests you need              bundles Add new ScriptBundle    bundles modernizr   Include                             Scripts modernizr-                   bundles Add new ScriptBundle    bundles bootstrap   Include                           Scripts bootstrap js                            Scripts respond js                  bundles Add new StyleBundle    Content css   Include                           Content bootstrap css                            Content site css                         Then modify your Global asax and add a call to RegisterBundles   in Application Start     using System Web Optimization   protected void Application Start         AreaRegistration RegisterAllAreas        RouteConfig RegisterRoutes RouteTable Routes       BundleConfig RegisterBundles BundleTable Bundles       A closely related question  How to add reference to System Web Optimization for MVC-3-converted-to-4 app
