You need to put the content of the page in ajax div. Then, each time update the div only.

You can check the condition in the each view where you do not want to load the layout.cshtml page.

otherwise you can also set another layout view where menu control is not there and check if first time user logged in then load menu layout else another layout.

  • I want to put menu in layout. When I click another page using menu item the layout will remain same but the corresponding page will be loaded. – Shariful_Islam May 27 '14 at 10:21
  • use another layout and apply that new layout in your corresponding pages, @{ Layout = "~/Views/Home/newLayout.cshtml"; } – Brijesh May 27 '14 at 11:56

just insert 

@{
Layout = null;
}

on top in your view where you do not want layout

  • so you want SPA then you need to use knockout or angularjs http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dn463786.aspx – rjdmello May 27 '14 at 10:27
  • in this mvc you and insert partial view in different div and hide that div and on click of specific menu show that div – rjdmello May 27 '14 at 10:29
  • This answer is valid by itself. if you want to exclude the base layout and make your own page with different html structure. It worked in my case. – Zahari Kitanov Nov 03 '19 at 12:29
