Adding jQuery to all pages of web application

Question

How can I add the jQuery file for use in all pages of the web application?

I tried it this way and also using the ScriptManger as this in master page's Page_Load event:

ScriptManager manager = new ScriptManager();
manager.Scripts.Add(new ScriptReference("script/jquery-2.0.1.min.js"));
manager.Scripts.Add(new ScriptReference("script/jquery.contextMenu.js"));

but it does not work.

Answer 1

Do it declaratively in the master page by dragging the files from Solution Explorer window to the code view of the mark-up.

Answer 2

Add your script to the master page head section, like:

<script src="<%=Page.ResolveClientUrl("~/scrpits/jquery1.7.js") %>" />

Answer 3

Just do it in the master page file.

When placing it in the master page, it applies to all pages that use the master page.
