Javascript Intellisense in Razor View Engine child pages

I'm after a way of getting my referenced .js files in my 'master' cshtml files to come through to the 'child' cshtml files.

I have something like this in the master file, so the .js files always get referenced (and indeed I get js intellisense in the master file):

if (false)
{
     <script type="text/javascript" src="../scripts/jquery.js"></script>
}

However when I reference the master.cshtml file in a 'child' page like this:

@{
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/master.cshtml";
}

I get no javascript intellisense. I really don't want to have to put the script tags at the top of each child page, there are a lot of script tags, and a lot of child pages!

So you don't lose the time to figure why the trick doesn't work, this could be useful:

If you use a relative path, this seems to work only if the path points to the same application. An absolute path apparently works in all cases:

reference path="../../Scripts/jquery-1.4.4.js"

The above works as long as the referenced script file is in the same application.

reference path="http://localhost/Scripts/jquery-1.4.4.js"

The above seems to work in any case.

I was hoping to find a solution to this as well.

The best option I've found is to always use an external js file. Create a file something like Master.js at the top use a reference path:

/// <reference path="../../Scripts/jquery-1.4.4.js"/>

Then you can have the intellisense. You need to still include the jquery file before your new external file.

The Razor editor right now cannot infer which script files are in use (this is because Razor layout pages are set via code and the editor does not execute a view page). Unfortunately you will have to include those script tags if you want JavaScript IntelliSense to work in your view pages.
