Hi,
I'm playing around with ASP.NET core and I'm having a problem with my _Layout.cshtml. The problem is that I'm using a "banner" on all my pages and I create it in _Layout.cshtml but the picture/background is only showing on the front page - the other pages are just displaying a white background.
All the controllers are doing is return View();
When I inspect the page it looks like it's not even loading the picture :-/

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 38,322 PointsFixed the problem by using @Url.Content() - But wondering if there is a better way to do it? :-)
<div class="intro-header" style="background-image: url('@Url.Content("~/images/keyboard-568978_1280.jpg")');">
