In the _Layout.cshtml there are references to jQuery, and bootstrap.min.js.
Yet in my ViewFile page, I cannot get DataTables to work unless I include the reference to jQuery, and data tables. This is in Visual Studio 2017 for Mac. I'm trying to get a paged table, that responds to browser resize, has column sorting, search function, nice looking buttons for first, next, etc. with the page size selector on the upper left and the search window on the upper right. I keep getting different combinations, and when it looks right, there are no column sort buttons, etc. Here is what is in the _Layout.cshtml file:

          Declare your datatable javascript code in @section scripts in ViewFile.cshtml



          @section scripts 
          <script src="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.19/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js"></script>



          And place your other javascript code (for datatable initialization) inside the section

          • Thanks! This really helped. The column sort buttons appeared when I followed your advice. I'm not sure what the scripts in _Layout.cshtml actually do, but the above fixed my problem.

          • While rendering the ViewFile.cshtml with _Layout.cshtml, your javascript will appear before the jquery script.. (after @RenderBody() you are declaring jquery and other javascript files). For this reason it doesn't work. To resolve this we have sections, what ever you declare/write javascript code inside the section it will come in the place of @RenderSection("Scripts", required: false)
