Question

I’m trying to get nested master pages working with the new razor syntax. Any help appreciated:

The error I’m getting is

Execute() no suitable method found to override

Delving further I have my _Site.cshtml, which is the main master page and inherits ViewMasterPage.

My nested master page is _layout.cshtml, which uses _site as a layout, uses some helpers and inherits from ViewMasterPage

I have a _ViewStart.cshtml, which points to my Layout file.

And finally I have my index page which inherits from ViewPage

So at the top of each page I have:

Site:

@inherits System.Web.Mvc.ViewMasterPage

Layout

@inherits System.Web.Mvc.ViewMasterPage<MyMasterViewModel>
@{ Layout ="~/Views/Shared/_Site.cshtml"; }

ViewStart

@{ Layout ="~/Areas/AreaName/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml"; }

Index

@inherits System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<MyHomeModel>

Any ideas???

Cheers!

ViewMasterPage is used for WebForms views.
Razor layout pages do not inherit a special class; instead, they inherit the same ViewPage class.

You should use the @model directive instead of @inherits in all three pages.
