I am trying to get Camera slideshow to work in an ASP.Net MVC view. I have successfully got it working in a normal HTML environment. It is called ‘camera wrap’.
I am using version 5.2.9.0 of MVC in Visual Studio 2022. I’ve been working with VB.Net for a long time but I am relatively new to the use of HTML, CSS and Javascript. I understand their interaction and what they do. I particularly want to use MVC (VB.Net).
I literally copied a working HTML doc into my MVC view. I have added the relevant css, javascript and images to the solution. The HTML includes the relative references to the scripts and css file. I have also tried loading them all using the ‘bundles’ option. I have also changed the $ sign for ‘jQuery’ in the function call. The script for this is…
<script>
jQuery(function () {
jQuery('#camera_wrap_1').camera({
thumbnails: true
});
jQuery('#camera_wrap_2').camera({
height: '400px',
loader: 'bar',
pagination: false,
thumbnails: true
});
});
</script>
I get the following error…
TyepError
with this stack trace error.
stacktrace
I’m hoping this is something that is due to my lack of MVC knowledge, I have tried unsuccessfully to search for this issue in various locations.
This is the HTML I copied…

One point, the ‘camera’ function is in another script – camera.min.js not jquery.min.js as noted in the stack trace???
I have tried loading the sripts and css file using the ‘bundles’ option. I have ‘dragged’ the scripts + css references into the view from the solution explorer.
I have changed the $ sign for ‘jQuery’. One point, the ‘camera’ function is in another script – camera.min.js not jquery.min.js as noted in the stack trace???
