Changes made to the _layout file in a cshtml project will not be visible in the files that inherit from it unless they are in

My Asp.net (cshtml) application consists of multiple modules stored in different directories. There is a shared directory that contains both the _layout and CSS files. Strangely, when I reference this layout file in other files that inherit from it, the CSS and layout do not reflect, even though the C# functionality is working fine.

However, if I manually place a copy of the _layout file in each inheriting directory and reference this local file in the inheriting files, the layout, look, and feel are properly inherited.

What could be causing this issue?

Answer №1

After analyzing the developer tools, I discovered that the reason for the CSS not loading was due to the application searching for it in the same directory where it is located. For example, if the page is in /folder1/subfolder1, it would try to find the path "testhost:9090/appl/folder1/subfolder1", when in reality, the CSS file is stored in "testhost:9090/appl/shared".

Initially, I attempted to reference the shared folder by using link href="../appl/shared/mainstyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" / while being in subfolder1. This method did not show any errors in the editor, but the CSS file failed to load in the browser.

As a result, I switched to referencing everything from the root directory like this: link href="~/appl/shared/assets/mainstyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /

Please take note of the ~ symbol used to navigate to the root directory. Hopefully, this insight will help others facing similar issues save some time.
