I have added the following inside my _layout view inside my Asp.net MVC core web application:-
@if (ViewContext!= null && ViewContext.RouteData != null && (ViewContext.RouteData.Values["controller"].ToString().ToLower() == "home" && ViewContext.RouteData.Values["action"].ToString().ToLower() == "faq"))
to show certain sections only when the user access /Home/FAQ/, this will work well for all the controller. but when i access any of the Identity built-in view such as "**/Identity/Account/Login**" & "**/Identity/Account/Register/**" i will get this error:-
