Intro to Bootstrap in ASP.NET MVC

[@slickace1862]

You know it’s a good day when @iamtimcorey posts a video. Idk how rewarding these videos are for you personally but your videos & responses encourage me to keep pushing. I wish there were more KZbin channels like yours. You take the time to explain concepts rather than just telling people to do it your way. Most people don’t understand how important that information is in the real world.

Tim, I've watched a few hundred videos over the past year to teach myself C#. You are an excellent teacher and always have great videos. I love your long and detailed tutorial series like the tournament tracker and retail manager. Right now, nobody has a great tutorial series for Asp.Net Core, Entity Framework Core, SSMS, MVC (or Angular?

[@IAmTimCorey]

Thanks for the suggestions. I do have a "Getting Started with .NET Core" course, as well as a SQL Developer from Start to Finish course that covers SSMS (and soon SSDT as well). I have an add-on course to my C# Application from Start to Finish that replaces the UI with ASP.NET MVC. You can find these and more at www.iamtimcorey.com/courses As for a real-world application that shows full-stack development with an API, I'm currently doing that with the TimCo Retail Manager series here on KZbin. Right now the front-end UI is WPF but we will be adding an ASP.NET MVC site to it soon. The goal is to build up an application in the .NET Framework and then convert it over to .NET Core (mimicking what you will probably have to do in the real world).

Intro to Bootstrap in ASP.NET MVC and .NET Core is a good video to get started with Bootstrap. But throughout, you always hard-code that data. Can you make an Intro to Bootstrap with Razor in ASP.NET MVC and .NET Core video, and show how to bring in data from a database onto a web page ? Maybe include best practices by using a repository class to access the database.

[@IAmTimCorey]

I'll be doing a start to finish course on building an ASP.NET Core web app soon. As for using a repository class or database access, the UI doesn't need to know about that. It just needs to know that it asks for models and it gets them. It doesn't need to care about direct data access.

The Browserlink functionality is a bit different in VS2019 16.4. I had to install 2 NuGet packages (Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor.RuntimeCompilation, Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.BrowserLink) Alter Startup Configure method with app.UseBrowserLink() below app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage(); Alter ConfigureServices method by changing services.AddControllersWithViews(); to services.AddControllersWithViews().AddRazorRunTimeCompilation(); The refresh on save doesn't work but clicking the refresh browsers button does.

Today i used the alert class in bootstrap and made the alert more dynamic. I used the ViewBag to carry a custom AlertModel that holds messageType, messageTitle, and the message. The messageType is the bootstrap class that i want to use for the alert (ie alert-success, alert-danger), the messageTitle is what i want to showup in bold, and the message is well, the message. I then put the alert Div in the layout page and using the custom AlertModel i can pass alerts to the same place on my site using business logic on the backend. The default instance of AlertModel.messageType uses the d-none class in bootstrap so by default that div is not displayed.

[@IAmTimCorey]

I do have a video called Intro to ASP.NET MVC which I believe shows you how Bootstrap fits into the larger whole. I also have the add-on course for the C# Application from Start to Finish course that creates a full UI in MVC including some Bootstrap changes.

[@peteredenburg6464]

Hi Tim, Thanks for the video, great as always. The auto-updating of the website whilst working on it and making saved changed appear instantly seems to not be working at my end, unfortunately. I don''t know why, the extension is visible in the Extensions section from the Tools menu. But ther is no suggestion there that indicates its not working like it should, except for the presence of the Disable button not being grayed-out if that any indication. Maybe I'm not the only one having that problem...

[@IAmTimCorey]

There are a couple things it could be. First, do you have browser sync turned on? Next, is the browser you are opening in being registered (it is in the list of synced browsers)? Check those two things and, if they are true, try to reload the extension.

[@peteredenburg6464]

I used the new keycombo Ctrl+Alt+Enter as Microsoft revealed in its pop up announcement and that worked, whereas I assumed it would be Ctrl+S or Ctrl+Shift+S. So problem solved.

[@hrvojevoda4910]

X Server is down for maintenance. I tried to use this code in bootstrap 4.5.2 version,but it doesn't work. There is an option with modal but it is a popup window. I don't know if they remove that option or the code is wrong?

Hey Tim. I'm always excited when I need to learn something new and I see you've posted a tutorial on it. Another great video as usual.

I've seen a few other viewers ask this question, but thought there may be an update on this issue. Thanks in advance.

Hi Tim, just watched the video and found your intro quite useful. I haven't tried applying a new theme yet since you mention deleting the bootstrap mapping files etc since they won't properly map to the changes you are making, however I don't think you covered how those would be regenerated? Would they auto-generate if you rebuild the solution or is there something else you would have to do?

[@shawnmofid7131]

Hi Tim, Thank you for the content sir. I am so happy to have access to these, and have the time to go through them. Could you tell me if the bootswatch version has to match the bootstrap or not?

[@IAmTimCorey]

The theme has to be built for the major version of Bootstrap that you are using. So if you are using Bootstrap 3.7, the major version is 3. That needs to match the version that the theme was designed for (even if the theme was designed for 3.3, it would work just fine).

[@timhoutman6413]

hellooo i am new to coding and learned a few things in C#, Should i learn to code in .net core or in .net framework. cuz i need alot of good information on how to code. since .net core is not mature yet, it will be hard to find good instructions. Also i really apriciate all of your videos, big thumb up Tim :)

[@IAmTimCorey]

When you build applications, build in .NET Core. However, you can still learn from .NET Framework videos and resources. The changes are minor enough that you won't have trouble translating what you learned. C# itself hasn't really changed from a code perspective. It is the behind the scenes changes that are the biggest improvements.

[@Otonium]

Which tools do you recommend/mention to modify the bootstrap colors yourself? Thank you

[@IAmTimCorey]

If you want to do it yourself, just create your own custom CSS to override what Bootstrap provides. That is all a theme is - a custom CSS file. You can definitely do it on your own.

[@michaeleichner9797]

As usual, I loved the video. I do however have a few questions: 1. In the beginning of the video you showed us the bootstrap class "row" and that it contained up to 12 columns. Is there a place to specify the number of columns or are there always 12 columns? 2. Since CSS3 added its own grid as well as the new Flexbox feature does that make the bootstrap grid obsolete? 3. Does bootstrap remove the need to use CSS media queries for different size devices? Thanks

[@IAmTimCorey]

The row is always 12 columns. You can set divs to use more than one column so you can divide the section in half, in thirds, in quarters, or in sixths. The Bootstrap grid isn't obsolete but it is possible to more easily do grids without Bootstrap. Bootstrap uses media queries for different sizes. You can tap into those.

[@michaeleichner7522]

IAmTimCorey Thanks for the fast reply. You are the best instructor that I’ve ever had.

[@tomservo75]

Question: When you first created the table, why was it squished into one column? You clearly put it in a 12-wide column. Will bootstrap not let you use different widths on different rows?

Could you please help me ?

[@IAmTimCorey]

It is a lot of work to upgrade to Bootstrap 4.x in a .NET Framework project. If you upgrade the NuGet package, you will also need to do a project rebuild to make sure it clears out the old references. Then, you will need to change all of the references over to Bootstrap 4 versions.

Nice Video! Do you have a video on, "How to integrate an existing Frontend template (in Bootstrap 4) into an ASP.NET MVC project?"

[@IAmTimCorey]

No. My recommendation is that if a project uses Bootstrap 3, keep it there. Don't try to upgrade it. An upgrade is basically a full redo, and don't forget that the identity pages use Bootstrap 3, so you would need to override each identity page if you were using authentication.

Depends. I'm assuming you mean .NET Core Razor pages vs .NET Framework ASP.NET MVC. If you are only doing new development, .NET Core with Razor pages is probably the way to go. Any development that needs the full framework or that needs to work with existing code should probably be in MVC.

Install the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor.RuntimeCompilation then in the Startup.cs file in the ConfigureServices method add ".AddRazorRuntimeCompilation();" to the services.AddRazorPages() So you should see services.AddRazorPages().AddRazorRuntimeCompilation(); This worked for me.

But MS is working right now to make this no longer true, right? Blazor with client side rendering using Mono over WASM is in the works as we speak. Then we can finally get rid of that blight known as Javascript and use a real language on both server and client. And you can get started now with server side rendering and then switch over to client side once it's fully baked. There is also a 'blazorstrap', but it's straightforward to create custom components in Blazor, so honestly I'd probably not bother with it. Still, it could be a good transitional tool I guess.

[@IAmTimCorey]

Here is my take on that: JavaScript will be around for a long, long time. Even if Blazor stabilizes and becomes a widely accepted front-end tool, it will have a long way to go to becoming the dominant web framework. I would not put all my hopes in a framework that isn't even at version one yet. People did that with Silverlight for the exact same reason (a WPF experience on the web). My guess is that Blazor will be supported by Microsoft for longer than Silverlight but that it will become a niche tool rather than the ultimate tool that replaces all others. It seems too heavy for that.

[@CharmedQuarkSystems]

By 'we' I meant those of us who don't want to be programming in the Basic of web development for the rest of our lives and who want to use a real language. I'm sure plenty of people will continue to use it. Not that we should celebrate or encourage that, given the last thing we need is to encourage amateurish code all over the internet (that we will all be subjected to.) And javascript absolutely encourages that (though obviously not every one uses it is writing amateurish code.) The big thing that Blazor (and just in general .Net on Mono on WASM) has over Silverlight is that it no longer needs any engine to be installed. It can be delivered to a browser directly. Silverlight was doomed by requiring it to be installed separately. And of course it doesn't have to continue re-delivering the .Net engine over and over every time you hit a new site that uses that same version. The other thing that is going to make a difference, it seems to me, is the work they are also doing on supporting cross platform native app development based on these same tools. I'd be just as happy to get rid of the browser along with javascript, since then javascript has absolutely zero usefulness and the ridiculous limitations of the browser can be done away with as well. If I can build from a single code base and deliver native apps into the stores for the major platforms, I'd very much be happy to never deal with another browser again. And, of course, if you could also deliver a browser based version of the same client application from the same code base, that would for a lot of folks be an even bigger incentive.

@@CharmedQuarkSystems Hey, dont want to look like Im hijacking users but If you're really keen on blazor you should definitely check out Edward Charbeneau channel! mainly client side blazor but he goes deep into razor components too!

[@XeikZone]

Damm dude...thx for this.

[@IAmTimCorey]

You are welcome.

I'd like a course which teach how to save Telemetry stances to data base, Mysql or Mssql.

[@IAmTimCorey]

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking for. What are you looking to save to a database?

[@crdpcsp]

@@IAmTimCorey I have a game that uses telemetry that report real time events. Report via Werb Sservice, JSON. I created an app in C # to see the events. I need to learn how to do telemetry records this information information in database. Mysql or MS Sql. Could you please indicate one of the courses on your list that comes close to what I need? Thanks!

If Your CSS doesn't work remember to disable cache in browser ! It will save you many head scratches.

[@IAmTimCorey]

Definitely. If you don't want to do that all the time, you can also open the dev tools (F12) and right-click on the refresh button and say empty cache and reload. Good for a quick fix of a site that is cached. I'll be doing a tips video covering these topics and more.

You are more refined version of kudvenkat in terms of speaking.

Thanks!
