How to override the layout defined in _ViewStart for certain views in ASP.NET MVC 3?

Is it possible to suppress the layout expressed in _ViewStart.cshtml using ASP.NET MVC 3 for certain views of an app.

I understand that I can define the layout programmatically in the controller action. Maybe passing in "" achieves that?

You have two options

1) Use return PartialView() from controller, it won't take Layout from View start

2) Assign Layout = null,

 @{
     Layout = null;
  }

In order not to apply a layout, just assign null to the Layout property in your view:

@{
    Layout = null;
}

<!DOCTYPE html>
