title: Calling @Html.Partial to display a partial view belonging to a different controller
body: <p>I am developing an ASP.NET MVC 3 application, whose content pages have a common pattern of layout elements. However, because the login page does not follow this layout, I cannot place this layout in <code>\Views\Shared\_Layout.cshtml</code>.</p>
  
  <p>So I would like to add another shared layout, say, <code>\Views\Shared\_Content.cshtml</code>, and call it from the content views... but unfortunately those views belong to different controllers.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to invoke <code>@Html.Partial</code> for a view belonging to a different controller?</p>
