What is the difference between "@Scripts.Render" and " – Guilherme Oderdenge Jul 17 '13 at 13:59

Question

Scripts.Render is used for bundling, if you bundle multiple scripts together and give them a name, then you can render them all together using this statement.

On debug mode, they'll render multiple tags, and in production you can deploy a single bundled script. Debug mode is set true or false in the web.config:

  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="true" ... />

Here is more about bundling.

Then, for just one script is "unuseful"? – Guilherme Oderdenge Jul 17 '13 at 14:01

if you have only one script in your project then you wont make use of the bundling, but you'll make use of the minification of that script. – Tamim Al Manaseer Jul 17 '13 at 14:02

Functionally, they both have the same result in your example. The Scripts.Render is part of the System.Web.Optimization namespace, which is included in the Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization NuGet package. As such, Scripts.Render also support JavaScript bundles (see http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/mvc-4/bundling-and-minification).
