ASP.NET Core MVC: _ViewStart.cshtml

Question

Hello,

In my ASP.NET Core Project, _Layout file I make into 2 files

1. _Layout.cshtml
2. _LayoutDashboard.cshtml

It is made this way so

1. Controller Name: Home. Default Page which is a Home Page it will read _Layout.cshtml.
2. Controller Name: Dashboard. So, the Page after logon, it will read _LayoutDashboard.cshtml.
3. Others Controller is No Layout

Is this the best practice ? If have better way, please shere

Please help

Answer 1

Your approach is perfectly fine.

The other option is to set a default layout in the viewstart and then override the Layout in those pages where you want to use the other layout

  @{
        Layout = "_Layout";
    }
