Hi there!

I'm just now getting my feet wet with dotLess in another project and am loving it thus far. This past weekend though, I cracked open the new Visual Web Developer 11 Beta to play around with a few things and discovered that dotless doesn't seem to work at at all there. I was first trying to use it with a custom Bundle and the new native bundling/minification system in MVC 4, and that didn't work. So I then tried to just use it normally and sadly got the same result. All of the normal css is read correctly, but the less pieces (such as mixins and variables) are totally ignored.

Am I missing something, or is this a known problem in that dotLess just isn't compatible with ASP.NET 4.5 and MVC 4? Thanks again!
