I am building an application in .net core 2.0 Razor pages and cannot get the site.css file to render what I want it to. I am string to customize the _layout.cshtml file by changing the nav bar. When I run the project the CSS does not apply going so far as to when I inspect the page the css that is being rendered is not even the file that I have changed.
The CSS code is:
body { padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; } .navigation { background-color: blue; color: white; float: left; width: 20vw; height: 100vh; } /* Wrapping element */ /* Set some basic padding to keep content from hitting the edges */ .body-content { padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px; } div.table { display: table; } div.table > div.thead { display: table-header-group; } div.table > div.tbody { display: table-row-group; } div.table > div.thead > div.table-row, div.table > div.tbody > div.table-row { display: table-row; } div.table > div.thead > div.table-row > div.table-heading { display: table-cell; font-weight: bold; } div.table > div.tbody > div.table-row > div.table-cell { display: table-cell; } /* Hide/rearrange for smaller screens */ @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { /* Hide captions */ .carousel-caption { display: none; } } and the _layout.cshtml is:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" /> <title>@ViewData["Title"] - AdeptFrontEnd</title> <environment include="Development"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="~/lib/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css" runat="server"/> <link rel="stylesheet" href="~/css/site.css" runat="server" type="text/css" /> </environment> <environment exclude="Development"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="~/css/site.css" asp-append-version="true" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" asp-fallback-href="~/lib/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" asp-fallback-test-class="sr-only" asp-fallback-test-property="position" asp-fallback-test-value="absolute" /> </environment> </head> <body> <nav class="nav flex-column navigation"> <ul class="nav flex-column"> <li><a asp-page="/Network/Index" class="navbar-brand">Adept</a></li> <li><a asp-page="/Network/Index">Network</a></li> <li><a asp-page="/Network/Index">Network</a></li> </ul> </nav> <div class="container body-content"> @RenderBody() </div> <environment include="Development"> <script src="~/lib/jquery/dist/jquery.js"></script> <script src="~/lib/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js"></script> <script src="~/js/site.js" asp-append-version="true"></script> </environment> <environment exclude="Development"> <script src="https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-3.3.1.min.js" asp-fallback-src="~/lib/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js" asp-fallback-test="window.jQuery" crossorigin="anonymous" integrity="sha384-K+ctZQ+LL8q6tP7I94W+qzQsfRV2a+AfHIi9k8z8l9ggpc8X+Ytst4yBo/hH+8Fk"> </script> <script src="https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/bootstrap/3.3.7/bootstrap.min.js" asp-fallback-src="~/lib/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js" asp-fallback-test="window.jQuery && window.jQuery.fn && window.jQuery.fn.modal" crossorigin="anonymous" integrity="sha384-Tc5IQib027qvyjSMfHjOMaLkfuWVxZxUPnCJA7l2mCWNIpG9mGCD8wGNIcPD7Txa"> </script> <script src="~/js/site.min.js" asp-append-version="true"></script> </environment> @RenderSection("Scripts", required: false) </body> </html> When I run the solution I get page that looks like: 
How do I get the CSS to render properly?
