MVC : Is there any way to create bundles in view?

Question

I'm developing a simple CMS with Theme Support. I'm trying to find a way to create css and js bundles for each theme.

I don't want to create Bundles in App_Start.

Something like put my code in _ViewStart.html like this :

@{ Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml"; Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/myscripts").Include( "~/Scripts/myscript1.js", "~/Scripts/myscript2.js")); //and so on... }

Is there any way to do this...?

Eventually I found the answer:

System.Web.Optimization.BundleTable.Bundles .Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/myscripts").Include(...));

Just for note : If you really don't need to create bundles in controller/view, for performance manners its best place to create bundles is in app_start.

That works, but it will run on every page request, kinda crappy. So what I did for my solution is I made a static method on a helper class that accepts bundles and registers them. Then it sets "BundlesLoaded" to true. And BundlesLoaded is true the view code doesn't run with an if block on !BundlesLoaded.
