I\'ve tried something

Answer 1

I use something this to change my layout for some particular reasons with users that are not logged in or hasn't got claims yet.

Take consideration, Values will are keys where:

Value[0] = controller  
Value[1] = action

using this logic:

 if (ViewContext.RouteData.Values.Where(v => v.Key == "action").FirstOrDefault().Value.ToString() == "MyAction")
    {
        Layout = "_Layout_MyOtherLayout";
    }
    else
    {
        Layout = "_Layout";
    }
