Putting @section inside @ if.net mvc 3

Question

I can't get this to work.

@if (isReal) { @section Navigation{ @{Html.RenderPartial("NavigationForInput");} } } 

which doesn’t work because it says "once inside the code you don’t need" @blah blah blah "

but when I remove @ from before the section, it wants to use the section as a type variable.

How can I only show this section conditionally?

Answer 1

Depending on whether your layout has an alternative for undefined sections or not, you can simply cancel @if and @section

 @section Navigation{ { @if (isReal) @{Html.RenderPartial("NavigationForInput");} } } 

If you just want to leave the navigation, this should be fine, but it will not work if you use IsSectionDefined ("Navigation") in your layout, as it will always return true.

Answer 2

Idea:

 @if (Condition) { <text> @section SectionName { } </text> } 

Here is the code:

 @if (isReal) { <text> @section Navigation{ @{Html.RenderPartial("NavigationForInput");} } </text> } 

Happy coding!

Answer 3

 @section Name { } 

Design

used to determine the section. To make a section, you use the RenderSection() method.
