Layout and Style

The ASP.NET Core pages are based on templates that are stored in the Renderer application. The ASP.NET Core templates are MVC Layout files, stored on the file system. If a page is based on one of these layout files, the Renderer will be able to render the page.

To create a base layout for all of your pages, you can leverage the power of Layout in ASP.NET Core. The layout files that are located in the Renderer’s Views/Shared folder are scanned and displayed in the template selector when you create a new page.

NOTE: Every layout file must have a section named Scripts.

Out-of-the-box Sitefinity ASP.NET Core Renderer comes with a blank template called Default that you can select the template selector. This layout file references Bootstrap5 CSS framework. The default Section widget templates also contain the Bootstrap5 grid system markup.
