jQuery Cycle Plugin not working in ASP.NET MVC 4

Question

I just created ASP .NET MVC4 project by default and put some code from this sample and it is not working at all.

Any clues?

Error:

What's the error? What do you want to accomplish? What have you tried? ... — Kenneth, Apr 17 '13 at 23:26
@Kenneth Take a look at the question please I have updated it. Thank you! — NoWar, Apr 17 '13 at 23:29
You don't appear to be including the jQuery library anywhere. It must be included before the jquery.cycle plugin — jmoerdyk, Apr 17 '13 at 23:29

It doesn't look like you include the jQuery library. You need to add this to your <head> section:

<!-- include jQuery library -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5/jquery.min.js"></script>

Question: Has ASP .NET MVC4 jQuery included? Hmmm – NoWar Apr 17 '13 at 23:30
Most of the MVC4 project templates should have it by default. – jmoerdyk Apr 17 '13 at 23:31
@jmoerdyk Exactly! So I have used the one provided by MS. – NoWar Apr 17 '13 at 23:32
@Metropolitan - Well, it's easy enough to find out. Just take a look at your page source and look if it is in there. – Steve Apr 17 '13 at 23:32

But you're not including it in the page. If your project has it, try adding a `@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")` on the line before you include the plugin – jmoerdyk Apr 17 '13 at 23:32
@jmoerdyk QUestion: but does it mean that ` bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jquery").Include( "~/Scripts/jquery-{version}.js"));` is not working at all if I have to include jQuery directly? – NoWar Apr 17 '13 at 23:41

All that line in the Bundles.Config does is _define_ the bundle, to use the scripts in that bundle, you still need to render that bundle to the page. – jmoerdyk Apr 17 '13 at 23:43
@jmoerdyk I didn't know it. Thank you!! Hey could you provide any link to read about it more please? – NoWar Apr 17 '13 at 23:48
