Magento 2 : Layout Xml

Question

I created layout XML file for 2columns-left layout. I need to use two options 2columns-left and 2columns-right in system configuration. When admin selects 2columns-right it should set layout on Right side and vise versa.

How should i proceed?

If you are doing this for a page, I assume you have a controller action for that page.
You can do this in your controller action:

namespace [Namespace]\[Module]\Controller\[Something];
class SomeAction extends \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Action 
{
 protected $resultPageFactory;
 protected $scopeConfig;
 public function __construct(
 \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Context $context,
 \Magento\Framework\View\Result\PageFactory $resultPageFactory,
 \Magento\Framework\App\Config\ScopeConfigInterface $scopeConfig
 ) {
 $this->resultPageFactory = $resultPageFactory;
 $this->scopeConfig = $scopeConfig;
 parent::__construct($context);
 }
 public function execute()
 {
 $page = $this->resultPageFactory->create();
 $layout = $this->scopeConfig->getValue(
 'path/to/config_value', 
 \Magento\Framework\App\Config\ScopeConfigInterface::SCOPE_STORE
 );
 if ($layout) {
 $page->getConfig()->setPageLayout($layout);
 }
 }
}

I haven't tested the code, so watch out for typos.
