>The whole of the MS documentation for System.Web.Optimization namespace (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.optimization) seems pretty flaky. The 'UseCdn' property on BundleCollection is not mentioned ; neither are half of the Bundle class constructors so it's impossible (except by trial) to know how this is handled.....

I don't understand why none of the CDN directories can be accessed directly and only individual files can be accessed. In this case, how can I reference them?

Say, http://www.asp.net/ajaxlibrary/CDNjQueryUI190.ashx - each theme is a separate file. So, what am I supposed to do?
