Can an ASP.NET MVC PartialView have a _Layout

Can an ASP.NET MVC PartialView directly use a Layout?

MSDN

I have looked at MSDN for PartialViewResult and compared with ViewResult:

ViewResult has a property MasterName that PartialViewResult does not.

But.. I can still define the Layout property in the partial views Razor.

Background

I am currently remediating a large code base with a huge amount of partial views used to fill iframes. Ideally they would be converted to normal views (ideally we would not use iframes) but I was wondering about just adding a layout to these partials to take out the <head> element at least so that we have more control over the script versioning (everything is replicated in each partial view). I'm looking for a light-touch solution since much of the code is expected to be thrown away.

Yes, even in Partial View also we can set Layout property which turns Partial View as normal View with Layout.

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

Yes.

You can use a layout within a layout:

Layout View Layout PartialView

We have an example of this in our codebase.
