How do I avoid calling the MVC _ViewStart for one page?

Question

I need to call the _ViewStart layout page for every page exept one.

How do I skip it for just one page (let's call it a.cshtml)?

You can just add this to the top of the page you don't want to use the layout for.

@{
    Layout = "";
}

As per this post by marcind

If you return PartialView() from your controllers (instead of return View()), then _viewstart.cshtml will not be executed.
