Hi,

So on step 4 pf page 218's try it out, the book says to change the ViewStart.html to

Layout = "~/View/Shared/_MVCLayout.cshtml"; (original code in book has error where slash is not between View and Shared. Added it here)

When I do this, and then try to view the Manage page mentioned in the prior leadup step (Yes, I am changing manage to edit/5 seeing as we changed the page in the prior chapters), I get the below error. This also happens when I test the given example code in the same way




Server Error in '/' Application.

Add the following code before the closing </body> tag in the _MVCLayout.cshtml file:

@RenderSection("scripts", required: false)

That worked.

Thanks
