Additions on a Bootstrap Panel
The Bootstrap panel classes allow you to create a bordered area on your web page. The panel classes give you a title area, a body area and a footer area. Most designers add buttons within the footer area to perform different actions on the information within the panel. Sometimes they add additional drop-downs or buttons within the body of the panel to reload the data or take action. While these work, sometimes you don’t want to take up that real estate with those actions. Instead you can use the title area of the panel for these additions. This blog post will show you how to accomplish this.

A Simple Bootstrap Radio Button for MVC
In a previous blog post I talked about a simple push button style of radio buttones. This sample push button style can be applied to radio buttons too. This style of button is very easy to do with just some built-in Bootstrap styles and a little extra CSS.

Bind Custom Radio Buttons to Integer Data
In the last blog post I showed you how to bind radio buttons to a boolean value. In this blog post we will look at how to bind to integer values. In certain business applications you might have the user select a single value from a list of items coming from a database. You want to display these options as radio buttons and then retrieve the value the user selects.

Bind Custom Radio Buttons to True/False Property
In the last blog post I showed you how to create a different look and feel for radio buttons. We used the button groups and glyph icons from bootstrap to build this different look. Now let’s bind these radio buttons to a single boolean property in a class.

Creating Radio Buttons using Bootstrap and MVC
As I previously published, the normal HTML check boxes and radio buttons just do not look good in bootstrap. Yes, bootstrap has a CSS class that will attempt to at least let render a radio button consistently across browsers, but it still is just the default HTML look. In addition, trying to hit a radio button on a mobile phone can sometimes be a little challenging.

Bind Check Boxes to a Collection in MVC
In my last two blog posts I showed you how to use the bootstrap ‘btn-group’ class to create check boxes that are a little nicer looking and easier to use on a mobile device. In addition I showed you how to bind check boxes to individual properties on an entity class. In this blog post you will learn how to create a set of check boxes from a collection of entity classes. You will also learn how to retrieve which check boxes were checked by the user and update the appropriate entity class in the collection with these values.

Bind Check Boxes in MVC
After the last post on how to create check boxes that use the bootstrap “btn-group” to modify the look and feel of check boxes, I thought it would be good to show how to bind these check boxes using MVC. After all, you will most likely need to display check boxes based on data from a table.

Web Forms is not Dead!
It seems like everywhere you read, everyone is talking about using ASP.NET MVC to create mobile web applications. But what about programmers still working in ASP.NET Web Forms? We want our projects done using the latest techniques, we want to build mobile web apps, and we want to use jQuery and bootstrap too. Not to fear, Web Forms is not dead, and nearly everything you can do in MVC, you can also do in Web Forms. I am creating a whole series of videos on how to use all the latest techniques in Web Forms to build modern web applications. This series of videos will be available in the summer of 2014 on www.pluralsight.com.

Put Development Standards In Place At Your Shop
Before beginning any application development consider implementing programming and database standards with your team. Using development standards allows all programmers to know what is expected of them and how to create new applications from scratch. Standards help developers move from one project to another without having to learn a different style of programming because it was created by another programmer.
