0	Hi, Layout: Layout is like a master page, it will give the same look and feel for your website. ViewStart: Viewstart is used to set the default layout page for the child pages.

0	Layouts that allow you to define a common site template, and then inherit its look and feel across all the views/pages on your web application. The role of viewStart is to avoid to repeat some code that must be the same between views. For example, the layout for the view. Instead of defining the the top of each view what layout to use, you can simply define a layout at the root of your views folder a file _ViewStart.cshtml Thanks & Regards, Mani Kumar Kasani007, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
