How can I include _Layout.cshtml in Razor Content Page ?
For example I created two cshtml files in root of my project.
First file is _Layout.cshtml
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Main Layout</h1>
<br>
<br>
@RenderBody();
</body>
</html>Second File is Product.cshtml
@inherits ServiceStack.Razor.ViewPage
@{
Layout = "~/_Layout.cshtml";
}
<h1>Product Page</h1>When I call http://localhost:6000/product
The result is in browser is
Product Page
but it should be
Main Layout
Product Page
Why ? What's the problem ?
Layout names should be the name of the file not a path and you should never need to reference _Layout as it's the default.
Also if you want your Views and Content Pages to share the same _Layout.cshtml pages add them once to /Views/_Layout.cshtml or /Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml instead.
If this is Self hosting HttpListener project you need to ensure all *.cshtml are set to Copy to Output Directory or the WebHostPhysicalPath references your project path.
