You can’t access elements in the layout from the view – this is MVC and not Web Forms.
There are no controls like in web forms which you can reference and manipulate.
If you want to change anything in the layout from within the view:
ViewBag(as others here suggested) to pass values up to the layout (to display them, use them for conditions, pass them toRenderActioncalls or to partial views, …). The same can be done by using a commonBaseViewModeland strongly typing the layout.Rendersectionin your layout and place asectionattribute in your view – whatever you put in the section will be rendered in the layout.
