Question

I want to use a different layout for all the Views in one folder. It’s all my Panel views controlled by PanelController.vb

Function LogIn() As ActionResult
    Return View()
End Function

Currently all the views in my project utilize _Layout.vbhtml for the layout etc.

How can I make these specific pages utilize e.g. _PanelLayout.vbhtml instead of the default?

See below of what files I am talking about:

I am using Visual Studio 2010, .NET MVC 3, Pages are Razor or something like that.

You can define the view’s layout file at the top of the view –

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index"
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_PanelLayout.vbhtml"
}
