The other day I was working on trying to create faster page loading in a .NET project and decided to tackle the idea of minifiying my JavaScript files. After trying tiressley to attach a minify routines to my web site between compiling and deploying I was not happy with the results. I would have to build something in each page to load the .min version if I was in debug but the full uncompressed version if I was testing. It seemed like a lot of work to do with many places that things could go wrong. I then remembered an article about bundling in asp.net but it seemed to relate to a feature in asp.net 4.5. What about 4.0? I was pleasantly surprised to see that you can get this to work with 4.0.

If the select name is the same as the value then there is a little easier way to do this, however; in this example I want the name and the value to be different.
