Value cannot be null or empty. Parameter name: contentPath

I have a multi-level Layout master pages in an ASP.NET MVC 4.

I have the following:

<title>@ViewBag.Title</title>

The order of Layout pages is as follows:

  1. _Layout.cshtml
  2. _SubLayout.cshtml (based on _Layout.cshtml)
  3. Index.cshtml (based on _SubLayout.cshtml)

I am setting the @ViewBag.Title inside Index Action. However, I get the following exception:

Value cannot be null or empty. Parameter name: contentPath


Here is the code I have. I am simply making the code of ASP.NET Design Patterns books work for VS 2012 / MVC 4

_Layout.cshtml

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>@ViewBag.Title</title>
    <link href="~/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
    <link href="@Url.Content("~/Content/Site.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />  
</head>
<body>  
<div id="main">    
    <div id="header">        
        <span><a href="@Url.Content("")">
        <img alt="Agatha's Clothing Store" 
             src="@Url.Content("/Content/Images/Structure/lg_logo.png")" 
             border="0" /></a></span>        
    </div>   

    <div id="headerSummary">        
         @RenderSection("headerBasketSummary", required: false)                   
    </div>
    <div class="topBarContainer">          
        <div id="background">         
            <div id="navigation">
                @RenderSection("MenuContent", required: false)
            </div>    
            <div id="content">
               @RenderBody()
            </div>            
            <div style="clear: both;" />
        </div>  
    </div>          
    @Html.Partial("_SiteFooter")
</div>

            <img class="item-productimage" src="@Url.Content("~/Content/Images/Products/" + product.Id.ToString() +".jpg"))" /></a>
            <div class="item-productname">@Html.ActionLink(product.BrandName + " " + product.Name, "Detail", "Product", new { id = product.Id }, null)</div>
            <div class="item-price">@product.Price</div>
            </li>
        }
    </ul>
</div>

Many thanks

This piece of code is throwing the exception: <a href="@Url.Content("")">. This happens because contentPath parameter of Url.Content method cannot be null or empty.
