ContentPlaceHolder in Razor?

Question

I can use ContentPlaceHolder's with Webforms view engines to put stuff in different locations in the master page.

How do I do that with Razor?

    <div id="content">         <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="MainContent" runat="server">         </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>     </div>      <div id="footer">         <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="Footer" runat="server">         </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>     </div> 

Answer 1

Yet again I managed to ask before finding the correct search keywords in Google.

In the layout

@RenderSection("footer", required: false)   

View example

<h2>About</h2>   <p>        Some stuff about this page.    </p>   <p>      The current date and time: @DateTime.Now   </p>   @section footer {       Copyright (c) 2010, Robert Sundström.   } 

Answer 2

Couldn't leave a comment sorry but you can remove the "required:"

@RenderSection("footer", false)
