Inspect the _Layout File
Use the file manager to expand the Shared folder and open _Layout.cshtml. This hidden page defines the HTML for the header, left navigation, and footer. There are two special directives used in this page. @RenderBody()
is replaced with the markup from each page that uses _Layout. In this case it lives inside a <div class="container">
. This is a bootstrap CSS convention that provides correct spacing and padding. The second directive is @RenderSection
. This will be replaced by <script>
blocks as needed for things like input validation.
