MVC4 with jquery-ui datepicker

Here's the steps, and they're very simple.  You only have to do it this way if you want to use the built-in bundling and minification, if not you can always use the exact same code you would use in an HTML page, but you would have to comment out the bundle generation code.

• Create a new MVC4 project and Select the Internet template. Use all default options.
• Edit the _Layout.cshtml in ~/Views/Shared and add these two lines after the jquery bundle at the bottom
• @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryui")
• @Styles.Render("~/Content/themes/base/css", "~/Content/css") -- NOTE Styles.Render, not Scripts.Render as in your code
• Either edit the Index.cshtml and delete everything, or create a new Controller action and blank view.
• Inside the view, add the following code, Press F5 and you're done!

Visual Studio 2010 Startup Gets Faster, Just disable TFS autoconnect feature and Save a lot of time

If you have experienced that opening Visual Studio 2010 takes too much time as it tries to connect to TFS automatically, you can now disable TFS auto connect and once visual studio is up then connect it to TFS which take very less time.

For achieving this You can install the TFS power tools, you can download it here

1. Please close all the Visual Studio and TFS instances before you start installation.
   
2. After installation open up a visual studio command prompt and run the command “tfpt connections” this will bring up a dialogue which will show all of your available TFS servers and Collections.
   
3. There are 2 options you can try, firstly uncheck "Automatically connect to server on startup" this should stop VS trying to connect to TFS when you open a solution.
   
4. If that doesn't work then click on the "+" next to the TFS server and select the collection you are using for source control. Hit the "Edit" button and you should see a checkbox called "Server is Offline" select this and you will no longer be connected to TFS.
   
5. To reverse the behaviour use the same tool to togle the values back to their defaults.
