how to map a default controller on aspnet core mvc without the default layout

I created a .NET Core 3.1 ASPNET project. By default, the startup page us the Home Controller/Index page.

 app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
        {
            endpoints.MapControllerRoute(
                name: "default",
                pattern: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
        });

But I want to make a Login Page, so I Created a New Controller with a new Action and I passed on the parameter, but instead of ONLY render the Login Page, it renders inside of the "@RenderBody()" from the layout project. On .NET MVC5 it only rendered the page that I set. I already tried with :

app.UseMvc(routes =>
{
   routes.MapRoute("default", "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
});

And it's the same thing. The login page it's not rendered apart of the layout

This has nothing to do with routing.

If you look in your Views folder, there will be a file called _ViewStart.cshtml, containing this code:

@{
    Layout = "_Layout";
}

_ViewStart.cshtml runs for every view, so by default it sets the layout page to _Layout.cshtml.

There are 2 options:

  • Remove the code from _ViewStart.cshtml, meaning the Layout needs to be explicitly set in each view.
  • In your login view, set Layout to null.
