I have put below mentioned knockout js reference inside the _Layout.cshtml file.

<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/knockout-2.2.0.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/knockout-2.2.0.debug.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>

I have put debug.js file only for intellisense support inside the visual studio 2010.

My Question is :

How to avoid debug.js file is being down loaded for client when I published my application.In other words restrict debug.js file only for the development environment(not for the client side download).

How to do that in ASP.NET ?

    A common approach is to have a flag indicating e.g. DEVELOPMENT_MODE = true;. Then wrap the <script> declaration with logic that checks that flag, and only includes the script if it’s true.

    I’m not a .net person, but in PHP something like:

    define('DEVELOPMENT_MODE', true);
...
if(DEVELOPMENT_MODE){
   echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/knockout-2.2.0.debug.js"></script>';
}

    Of course, prior to deploying your app you’d set DEVELOPMENT_MODE to false (either manually or via Ant, etc).

    Cheers
