how to fix this error

Answer 1

In my case after I add

<div class="container body-content">
    @RenderBody()
    <hr />
    <footer><p>&copy; @DateTime.Now.Year - My ASP.NET Application</p>
    </footer>
</div>

to the shared layout's footer, all worked perfectly. this occurs because of the layout page on

view -> shared

haven't load the method @RenderBody() so you can either get rid of this using the upper code fragment or you can just comment the layout at the top of your relevant cshtml page.
