Having problems creating layout.cshtml in Visual Studio 2017

in jQuery Mobile • 6 months ago

I've found tons of great examples of Jquery Mobile applicable to Visual Studio developers - all using older Visual Studio MVC templates i.e. they have the App_Start folder, use bundling, etc. where the 2017 Visual Studio/MVC has done away with both of those constructs.

ALL i want to is create my first simple test app using jquery mobile (single listview control). I can cut/paste code via notepad into an HTML file, double click it, and it displays exactly as expected. But I have not been able to replicate that in MVC 5. That "same" code has none of the mobile styling queues. I've been developing web pages for over 20 years but new to MVC.

Any help is appreciated.
This is all done trying to create an ASP.NET Core 2.2 MVC app using C#.

Thank you in advance

Nobody here uses MVC. Find a microsoft forum.

If you shared a live link to your page, we could look at the source and not have to see any MVC code.

As Jake points out, this is not a good place to find information on using jQuery, jQuery UI, or jQuery Mobile with Microsoft MVC. Nobody here knows anything about Microsoft MVC, "bundling", app_starter, or "mobile styling queues". You might as well be writing in Klingon. You will need to find an MVC-oriented forum where people will understand what you are talking about.

But there is a very good reason why you are only finding examples "all using older Visual Studio MVC templates". You are unlikely to find much ANYWHERE on using jQuery Mobile with the latest Microsoft MVC, or the "latest" "anything".

jQuery Mobile is a dead/dying project. It's unlikely to receive any updates going forward.

JQM 1.4.5 was released in October, 2014.

JQM 1.5 alpha1 was released Jan 11, 2017. It is unlikely to ever get out of alpha.

If this is a new project, you might want to consider if it is wise to incorporate a dead/dying library.

When you decide to use a library, check it's freshness date first!

P.S. I have been a big fan of jQuery Mobile in the past, and used it in several projects. It's glory is past, though, it is a DEAD PARROT, and I would not use it in a new project today.

If you still insist, we can help you by showing you the HTML you need to create. We can't help you with how to coax Microsoft MVC into creating the HTML. We don't know how.
