Hi,

I tried to get start the development with code first approach. Following your video here: https://vimeo.com/217447832. I have defined a master page for my website (Using administrator tool of Dynamicweb), it is applied for all pages. But it was not applicable for my custom Customer/Index.cshtml views.

My question was somehow we can manually get the pre-defined layout in Dynamicweb, then set it to my custom .cshtml views? Please see attched files for more detail.

Thanks in advance

Hi Nicolai,

Base upon your answer via email, it seems that this is impossible because the Customer/Index.cshtml was beyond Dynamicweb's template engine.

In this case, I tried to define a Master layout inside ~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml, then manually set the Layout property of Customer/Index.cshtml to that file. Now I got an exception of empty Context property. If I set the Layout property to null, it works well.

Is there any solution to work around? or Was I missed anything?

Please have a look at the attached picture.

I think I need to see the entire stack of that exception and would also like to see your index.cshtml and _layout.cshtml

But you are not dealing with Dynamicweb at all in this setup, so it seems to be a MVC related issue.
