Why don't you create a master page specifically for ajax requests. Even if it's a bare bones page with just the content controls? Then for ajax requests just return View("ViewFile", "~/Path/To/AjaxMasterPage.Master");

If your view has content controls I think you need a master page, even if it's a very simple stripped down version.

Rendering a View without its Masterpage

Hi all,

All of my views need to have masterpages associated with them so that if a client is browsing without ajax support the site still works.

But for clients supporting ajax sometimes I need to render just the view to inject into the content div of my masterpage.

How do I do this?

I've tried taking the masterpage attribute of the page header, this works when I use return View("ViewFile", "~/Path/To/MasterPage.Maser"); but when I use return View("ViewFile") I get a HttpException: Content controls are only allowed in pages that reference a masterpage.

Many thanks,

Jason
