I’ve got the following scripts in an MVC3 application, but I’m thinking that they aren’t being used, just referenced. Is there an easy way to tell if they are being used somewhere within the markup?

<script src="/Scripts/MicrosoftAjax.js" type="text/javascript"></script>  
<script src="/Scripts/MicrosoftMvcAjax.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/MicrosoftMvcValidation.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    From "Pro ASP.NET MVC 3 Framework, Third Edition"

    There are also a set of files in the ‘~/Scripts‘ folder whose names start with Microsoft, for example MicrosoftAjax.js

    These are from version 2 of the MVC framework and predate Microsoft fully embracing jQuery in ASP.NET MVC. We don’t discuss these files since they have been superseded and are included in MVC framework just for compatibillity with earlier versions.

    Since the book was written by Adam Freeman & Steven Sanderson (and the later works for Microsoft) then I think that’s good enough for me 😉
