RazorComponentResult<T> doesn't render either the Blazor or MVC Layout

[nfplee]

Description

The section Return a RazorComponentResult from an MVC controller action suggests that a Layout will be applied to the Razor component, but I can't get it to work. It simply renders the content of Welcome.razor.

Hello @nfplee ... Did you try applying a layout directly to the component file. For example something like ...

@using BlazorSample.Components.Layout
@layout MainLayout

suggests that a Layout will be applied

It doesn't address it, but I don't think we can describe everything that a dev might need to do for all of the different features that might work. I'm not even 100% sure really if the code I just suggested will work or 💥.

Thanks, I did try that and it then wrapped the component in the content from the MainLayout component but it did not include the content from the App.razor component (the html, head and body tags).

it did not include the content from the App.razor component (the html, head and body tags).

... not too surprising based on my guess at how they set this feature up. I think the document here will need a little wording to say that only the component is rendered and that every bit of required additional markup (layouts and root component HTML) must also be provided.

I'll schedule this for work, and I'll probably ask Mackinnon on the product unit to look over my remarks before publication. Thanks for the issue. Leave this open, as it will close automatically later when the PR merges.

Thanks, it makes sense it would work this way. I hadn't questioned it until I read this article and figured there might be some magic I might've misunderstood.
