Rendering views without master page in MVC3

I have one view in my project (a bill) and I would like this view to not be shown in a master view wrapper - rather I just want the HTML within the view to be shown. What is the correct way to make a view ignore loading a master layout?

What is the correct way to make a view ignore loading a master layout?

You could put the following at the top of your view:

@{ 
    Layout = null;
}

Or from within the controller action that is supposed to serve this view return a PartialView instead of a View:

public ActionResuilt SomeAction()
{
    return PartialView("_SomePartialView");
}

Or even return a view and specify a null Layout:

public ActionResuilt SomeAction()
{
    return View("SomeView", null, null);
}

Thanks, so returning a partial view will return always without the master layout? – NickP Sep 24 '12 at 12:25
Yeah, returning a `PartialView` will not render the Layout. – Darin Dimitrov Sep 24 '12 at 12:26
Thanks will accept when I can – NickP Sep 24 '12 at 12:26
