Explain Layouts, Partial Views, and View Components.

Junior .NET Core
Quick Answer Layout: the shared template (_Layout.cshtml) that wraps all views — navigation, header, footer, common CSS/JS. Partial View: a reusable fragment rendered inside a view (like a product card). View Component: like a mini-controller+view — has its own logic, can query the database, and renders independently. More powerful than Partial Views for complex UI pieces.

Answer

Layouts define a shared page shell (e.g., header, footer, navigation) used across many views.

Partial Views are reusable view fragments for rendering common UI pieces (e.g., a login panel or a list of items).

View Components encapsulate both rendering logic and view; they behave like mini-controllers plus views and are ideal for widgets (menus, dashboards, notifications) that need their own logic and markup.
