I have followed a couple of guides on how to serve static content from a portable area but with no luck. I have two projects, a web project and a class library (which serves as my portable area). In my portable area (lets call it 'MyArea' for namesake) I have a Content folder with three folders inside that, Scripts, Styles, Images.
In the Scripts folder I have a simple js file as an embedded resource ('Hello.js'). My understanding is that the RegisterDefaultRoutes method called by RegisterArea creates routes for these which map to the following urls:
directory /Areas/AreaName/Content/Images maps to the URL /AreaName/Images
directory /Areas/AreaName/Content/Styles maps to URL /AreaName/Styles
directory /Areas/AreaName/Content/Scripts maps to URL /AreaName/Scripts
My layout view (_layout.cshtml) (which is in my web project which imports the MyArea project as a project reference) has the following in the head:
<script src="@Url.Content("~/MyArea/Scripts/Hello.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
However, inspecting this returns a 404 so I must be doing something wrong
I have also followed the guides below with no luck

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks very much.
Ok... so it was me doing something silly. I didn't follow the proper naming conventions, my Content folder was located in:
Project -> Content
Whereas it should have been in
Project -> {areaname} -> Content
(i.e. Project -> MyArea -> Content)
It works now, Thanks
