master partial convention

[Mike Nichols]

I am trying to apply a convention where if a file '_Cmd' exists in a
controller's folder, it is rendered as a sidebar in the master
layout.

I have tried this in my application.spark layout:
<div id="cmd"><use content="cmd"><Cmd/></use></div>

But this does not look in the controller folder (views/<controller>).

This does work:
<div id="cmd">
<use content="cmd">
# Html.RenderPartial("_Cmd",new object());
</use>
</div>

How can I have the master layout look in the current controller folder
path for partial views? I can see this as a convention that will be
used again and I'd prefer not using code in the view directly. Is
there a better approach for this kind of convention?

Hi Mike,

What does the inside of your _Cmd file typically look like? Have you surrounded all the content in there with <content name="cmd"> cmd stuff  </content>

Not sure if I'm missing some context here, but that should work if you use the line in your application.spark file as per your email below.

Regards,

Rob
