title: How to override the layout defined in _ViewStart for certain views in ASP.NET MVC 3?
body: <p>Is it possible to suppress the layout expressed in <code>_ViewStart.cshtml</code> using ASP.NET MVC 3 for certain views of an app. </p>
  
  <p>I understand that I can define the layout programmatically in the controller action. Maybe passing in <code>""</code> achieves that? </p>
