I have an asp.net mvc project, and I replaced the default css the wizard built with the iui css and javascript package. They were placed in ~/Content/iui/ folder. When i ran the site through the dev web server, the css didnt get used. I managed to fix it by adding the iui folder to the project in the project explorer. That's all I did, the pages already the script and style tags set up properly.
What is going on here? I'm sure MSVS is up to something behind the scenes, and I'd like to understand why it did this and why what I did produced the behaviour that it did.
