Answer 1

I know this answer is a litle (maybe a lot) late but you can also use the PartialView method if you mean to render an HTML fragment instead of the full page.

Relevant Spark documentation

• An Application.spark file in the Views/Layouts folder or Views/Shared folder

This is the most general-purpose way to have a site-wide master template. It will not be used if the controller returns a PartialView().

Answer 2

Not tested, but what if you create and empty master layout, and say <use master="EmptyMaster" /> in the top of your view? Or you could call on the empty master from the controller; return View("View", "EmptyMaster");

Don't know if it'll work, but it's worth a shot.
