Avoid specific css to be minified in MVC bundleconfig

In MVC BundleConfig.cs, when the debug=false or BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = true; it minifies the scripts and css files, but what if I want explicitly avoid specific one that should not be minified?

I have one problematic css file which is broken as soon as it is minified. So I would like to keep only that one as it is. (please do not suggest fixing that broken css etc...)

I mean as an example:

 bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/css").Include( 
                    "~/Content/myStyle1.css",
                    "~/Content/myStyle2.css",
                    "~/Content/myStyle3.css",
                    "~/Content/myStyleDoNotMinify.css" 
                ));

How to exclude the last one to not be minified, but still included?

Should I just not use the bundle config at all for that specific css?

As you suggested you can link the file "myStyleDoNotMinify.css" separately without adding into the bundle. If you would like to include all the css files in a folder and just exclude this file you may use the ignore list.

bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/css").Include("~/Content/*.css"));

BundleTable.Bundles.IgnoreList.Ignore("myStyleDoNotMinify.css", OptimizationMode.Always);
