The following sections have been defined but have not been rendered for the layout page

Question

This is an ASP.NET MVC 3 exception message. What it says? What should I do?

OK, I have this code:

@{
     Layout = \"~/_Layout.cshtml\";
     Page.Title          


        

Answer 1

Your layout page isn't actually rendering the sections footer and meta

In your _Layout.cshtml, put in @RenderSection("meta") where you want the meta section rendered.

You can also do @RenderSection("meta", false) to indicate that the section is optional.
