Add Diffrent master layout in mvc 5
Procedure 1 : Control Layouts rendering by using _ViewStart file in the root directory of the Views folder
This method is the simplest way for beginners to control Layouts rendering in your ASP.NET MVC application. We can identify the controller and render the Layouts as par controller, to do this we can write our code in _ViewStart file in the root directory of the Views folder. Following is an example shows how it can be done.
@{ var controller = HttpContext.Current.Request.RequestContext.RouteData.Values["Controller"].ToString(); string cLayout = ""; if (controller == "Webmaster") { cLayout = "~/Views/Shared/_WebmasterLayout.cshtml"; } else { cLayout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml"; } Layout = cLayout;}
Procedure 2 : Set Layout by Returning from ActionResult
One the the great feature of ASP.NET MVC is that, we can override the default layout rendering by returning the layout from the ActionResult. So, this is also a way to render different Layout in your ASP.NET MVC application. Following code sample show how it can be done.
