Is there a way to identify current layout details with renderings?

Question

I got a scenario where I have different layouts Layout1, Layout2, so on...I have a renderings which is shared among this layouts. Layout1- Rendering -R1 Layout2-Rendering-R1 and so.

Now I have situation where I want to identify the layout name or details within this rendering R1. I know this is not good idea still is there any way to refer the details of layout within renderings.

Answer 1

If I understood your question right, you want to handle a particular rendering R1 based on the underlying Sitecore layout selected for the page item

The below screenshot shows how to get the layout information from the current rendering:

Here's a code sample that gets the current layout name:

Guid layoutId = Sitecore.Mvc.Presentation.RenderingContext.CurrentOrNull.Rendering.LayoutId;
Item item = Context.Database.GetItem(new ID(layoutId));
string layoutName = item["Name"];

Answer 2

You can access the layout in your code by using Sitecore.Context.Item.Visualization.Layout (example for context item). This will give you a LayoutItem that gives you access to the name, physical file, ...
