Allow to define section or/and body without the need to render it #3293
Description
It would be nice if we could just prevent the render of the body or/and the section like this without get the exception:
@if (someLogicIsFalseHere) {
RenderSection("adminMenu");
}An unhandled exception occurred while processing the request.
InvalidOperationException: The following sections have been defined but have not been rendered by the page at '/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml': 'adminMenu'.
I use the "section" to make various versions of the views using the same "layout.cshtml" for different browsers, users, permissions and requests types with the same controller and model.
The way I current make this in asp.net 4.5 is like the code bellow, but this workaround doesn't work properly in asp.net 5 beta 7. This was discussed in the issue #3283
@if (someLogicIsFalseHere) {
WriteTo(TextWriter.Null, RenderBody());
WriteTo(TextWriter.Null, RenderSection("adminMenu"));
RenderSection("alternativeMenu");
}
