Using sections in Editor/Display templates

Solution 1:

You could proceed with a conjunction of two helpers:

public static class HtmlExtensions
{
    public static MvcHtmlString Script(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, Func<object, HelperResult> template)
    {
        htmlHelper.ViewContext.HttpContext.Items["_script_" + Guid.NewGuid()] = template;
        return MvcHtmlString.Empty;
    }

    public static IHtmlString RenderScripts(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper)
    {
        foreach (object key in htmlHelper.ViewContext.HttpContext.Items.Keys)
        {
            if (key.ToString().StartsWith("_script_"))
            {
                var template = htmlHelper.ViewContext.HttpContext.Items[key] as Func<object, HelperResult>;
                if (template != null)
                {
                    htmlHelper.ViewContext.Writer.Write(template(null));
                }
            }
        }
        return MvcHtmlString.Empty;
    }
}

and then in your _Layout.cshtml:

<body>
...
@Html.RenderScripts()
</body>

and somewhere in some template:

@Html.Script(
    @<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.4.4.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
)

Modified version of Darin's answer to ensure ordering. Also works with CSS:

public static IHtmlString Resource(this HtmlHelper HtmlHelper, Func<object, HelperResult> Template, string Type)
{
    if (HtmlHelper.ViewContext.HttpContext.Items[Type] != null) ((List<Func<object, HelperResult>>)HtmlHelper.ViewContext.HttpContext.Items[Type]).Add(Template);
    else HtmlHelper.ViewContext.HttpContext.Items[Type] = new List<Func<object, HelperResult>>() { Template };

    return new HtmlString(String.Empty);
}

public static IHtmlString RenderResources(this HtmlHelper HtmlHelper, string Type)
{
    if (HtmlHelper.ViewContext.HttpContext.Items[Type] != null)
    {
        List<Func<object, HelperResult>> Resources = (List<Func<object, HelperResult>>)HtmlHelper.ViewContext.HttpContext.Items[Type];

        foreach (var Resource in Resources)
        {
            if (Resource != null) HtmlHelper.ViewContext.Writer.Write(Resource(null));
        }
    }

    return new HtmlString(String.Empty);
}

You can add JS and CSS resources like this:

@Html.Resource(@<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.4.4.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>, "js")
@Html.Resource(@<link rel="stylesheet" href="@Url.Content("~/CSS/style.css")" />, "css")

And render JS and CSS resources like this:

@Html.RenderResources("js")
@Html.RenderResources("css")

You could do a string check to see if it starts with script/link so you don't have to explicitly define what each resource is.
