title: Switch _layout.cshtml using angularjs
body: <p>I'm using angularjs and .NET MVC together. I'm using an initial _layout.cshtml page, but the rest of the routing is through angular. </p>
  
  <p>However, for the login page, I want a different layout page and I can't figure out how to break-out of the angular routing and get back to the _viewStart.cshtml to pick another layout. In the _viewStart, I have something like this, but I never get to the _viewStart after angular starts to take over the routing. </p>
  
  <pre><code>@{
    if(Request.Path.Contains("Login")) {
        Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout2.cshtml";
    }
    else { 
        Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
    }
  }
  </code></pre>
