Question

I want to define this section only if some property (Model.ReadOnly) is false.

@section toolbar {
    <div class="tool">
        <div class="row">
            @Html.ActionLink( Resources.Strings.Edit, "Edit", "Profile" )
        </div>
        <div class="row">
            @Html.ActionLink( Resources.Strings.Delete, "Delete", "Profile" )
        </div>
    </div >
}

I tried wrapping it up in @if ( !Model.ReadOnly ) {} but it doesn’t work.

Is there a way to do this?

I do not want to define an empty section (as @itsmatt suggests), the layout of my page changes whether the section is defined or not (using IsSectionDefined( "toolbar" )).

This should work.

@if (!Model.ReadOnly)
{
    <text>
    @section toolbar {

    }
    </text>
}

I never said it would be pretty 😉
