How can a partial view be invoked from the _Layout.cshtml file?

edit

A partial view can be invoked from the _Layout.cshtml file using the syntax:

@Html.Partial("_PartialViewName")

where "_PartialViewName" is the name of the partial view file that you want to include in the layout.

You can also pass a model to the partial view as follows:

@Html.Partial("_PartialViewName", model)

where "model" is the data that you want to pass to the partial view.
