Interesting that the same guy, Scott Guthrie, refers to the ASP.NET MVC 3 master page as SiteLayout.cshtml (
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/10/22/asp-net-mvc-3-layouts.aspx ) and in another artilce as _Layout.cshtml (
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/12/30/asp-net-mvc-3-layouts-and-sections-with-razor.aspx ). No wonder I am confused <g>.
