I have a top-level _Layout.cshtml that looks something like this:
<html>
<head>
@RenderSection("Header", required: false)
</head>
<body>
@RenderSection("LeftPane", required: false)
@RenderSection("RightPane", required: false)
@RenderBody()
</body>
</html>
Then I have two "sub-layouts." One defines just the LeftPane section, the other defines both a LeftPane and a RightPane. These sub-layouts are called _LeftPane.cshtml and _LeftPlusRightPane.cshtml, and they have Layout set to "_Layout.cshtml."
Then in each View .cshtml file, I set the Layout to either _LeftPane.cshtml or _LeftPlusRightPane.cshtml, depending on what I want to show up on the page.
That all works fine. The problem is with the new "Header" section I've added in the <head>
portion of the document. This section is not defined in the sub-layouts, but rather in the actual Views. When I try to view something this way, I get the error:
The following sections have been defined but have not been rendered for the layout page "~/Views/Shared/_LeftPlusRightPane.cshtml": "Header".
I don't want to render the Header section in the sublayouts, I want to render it up in the _Layout.cshtml file. How do I "pass through" the defined Header section from the low level view, through the sub-layouts, up to the top _Layout?
