Unable to access local css file

Question

Local css file called site.css is stored in Content folder in .net core project

Tried the following in layout

 <link rel="stylesheet" href="@Url.Content("~/Content/site.css")" />

as well as

 <link rel="stylesheet" href="~/Content/site.css" />

but didn't work.

In startup I have app.UseStaticFiles();

Is there anything I am missing? I am unable to access the css in the browser. Gives error in dev tools.

Thank you

UseStaticFiles() only serves content from wwwroot folder. It should works, if you move your css file to wwwroot/Content/.

If you want to serve static content from Content folder, you should apply config like below:

app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions
{
    FileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(
        Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), "Content")),
    RequestPath = "/Content"
});
