In Razor there is no notion of partial views as there was in WebForms. You only have templates with the .cshtml extension. Depending on how the controller action serves this view (with either return View() or return PartialView()) the _Layout.cshtml will be applied or not. Also if you render a template with either the Html.Partial helper this template will be considered as a partial view. Finally you have the possibility to set whether you want or not a Layout from inside the template itself. For example to disable it:

@{
    Layout = null;
}

So basically in Razor you have templates and you could consider partial views as templates without a layout.
