Getting StackOverflowException on RenderSection & ViewBag

Question

It seems that the ViewBag.Title & @RenderSection(..) executes multiple times but i can't figure why it happens

this is a new project, i have just implemented a single controller with a single view the Index.cshtml contains

@{
   ViewBag.Title = "Index";
   Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}

and the layout:

enter image description here

Thanks in advance :)

Note that it's probably best to copy-paste the code and exception (indicating where the exception occurred) in future so people searching using the error message (for example) can easily find this question. :) — George Duckett

Buried beneath your screenshot I can perceive the root of your problem:

<a href="@Html.Action("Inde........
    <img src="~/Content/ima....
</a>

You wanted to use Url.Action and not Html.Action which is something entirely different.

<a href="@Url.Action("Inde........
    <img src="~/Content/ima....
</a>
