Yes, you can use bundling in ASP 4. Use Nuget Package Manager to install Microsoft ASP.Net Web Optimization Framework to your project. Then in global.asax register the bundles in Application_Start method. something like this -

    var jqueryBundle = new ScriptBundle("~/Scripts/jquery");
    jqueryBundle.Include(new string[] { 
        "~/Scripts/jquery-1.8.3.js",
        "~/Scripts/jquery-ui-1.9.1.custom.min.js",
        "~/Scripts/jquery-ui-timepicker-addon.js",
        "~/Scripts/jquery.validate.js",
        "~/Scripts/jquery.validate-additional-methods.js"
    });

    BundleTable.Bundles.Add(jqueryBundle);

Then in your aspx page or masterpage call the bundle-

    <%= System.Web.Optimization.Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/jquery") %>

Over couple trial and Reading Bundling i found the solution

Install Web Optimizer framework from NuGet package Manager for the solution include System.Web.Optimization in following file, even in Apsx file.

in Application_StartUp () :

 var bundles = BundleTable.Bundles;
 bundles.UseCdn = true;   //enable CDN support
 var jqueryCdnPath = "http://code.jquery./jquery-1.9.1.js";
 var jQueryUICdnPath = "http://code.jquery./ui/1.10.3/jquery-ui.js";
 bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jquery",jqueryCdnPath)); 
 bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jqueryui", jQueryUICdnPath)); 

In Aspx page :

  <script src="<%=BundleTable.Bundles.ResolveBundleUrl("~/bundles/jqueryui")%>" type="text/javascript"></script>
  <script src="<%=BundleTable.Bundles.ResolveBundleUrl("~/bundles/jquery")%>" type="text/javascript"></script>

~/bundles/jqueryui : for UI java script ~/bundles/jquery : for functionality java script.

1. Add dll file WebGrease.dll in Reference

2. Add Bellow code for js and css in global.asax

   dynamic solutioncss = new System.Web.Optimization.StyleBundle("~/bundles/solutionDetailCSSBundle"); solutioncss.Include("~/Style.css", new CssRewriteUrlTransform()); solutioncss.Include("~/incs/highslide/highslide.css", new CssRewriteUrlTransform()); solutioncss.Transforms.Add(new CssMinify()); System.Web.Optimization.BundleTable.Bundles.Add(solutioncss);

   dynamic HeaderLinkBundle = new System.Web.Optimization.ScriptBundle("~/bundles/HeaderLinkBundle"); HeaderLinkBundle.Include("~/js/jquery.js"); HeaderLinkBundle.Include("~/js/headerlink.js"); HeaderLinkBundle.Transforms.Add(new JsMinify()); System.Web.Optimization.BundleTable.Bundles.Add(HeaderLinkBundle);

   System.Web.Optimization.BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = true;

3. Add this bundle of css and js to aspx page.
