Answer 1

You could find the difference of ViewResult between asp.net and asp.net core Asp.Net Core Asp.Net

there's no method supplied for your to set layout in controller the sameway with which you set masterpage in asp.net controller

You could set masterpage in your view Like:

@{
    Layout = "_myLayoutPage";
}

In this case, we can set it in _ViewStart file using ViewData.
