Defining a section for all views

问题:

I've created a section for a footer in my asp.net MVC 3 Web Application:

<footer>
    @RenderSection("Footer", true)
</footer>

This footer will be the same on every page, so it doesn't make sense for me to define it for each and every view. So, is there any way I can globally declare this footer section for all views? The footer will contain code so as far as I know it's bad practice, if not impossible, to directly define it in the .cshtml file.

Thank you in advance.

I have handled the same scenario by creating a partial view "_Footer" and place it on the "_Layout".

@ViewBag.Title

@Html.Partial("_Header")

<div id="content">
    <div id="nav-bar">
        @Html.Partial("_Menu")
   </div>

    <div class="container">
    @RenderBody()
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
    @Html.Partial("_Footer")
</div>

@Html.Partial("_Scripts")

Sure:

<footer>
    @if (IsSectionDefined("footer"))
    {
        @RenderSection("footer")
    } 
    else
    {
        ... put your default footer here
    }
</footer>

And in views that you want to override the footer simply define the section.

You can place the footer in your SiteLayout.cshtml. See this article for more information on using layouts with MVC 3.
