CSS Necessities

READ ONLY TEXT BOXES



When you need to return your model data in a textbox control but you don't want it to look like a textbox, apparently non-geeky people can't just accept that it is read only - they need to have it out of a textbox!

Easy way to do this- add this to your styles

input[readonly]
{
    border: none;
    background: none;
}

And make your text box readonly

    @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Id, new { htmlAttributes = new {@readonly=true } })


DECORATING REQUIRED FIELDS



You know the little red asterisk that you typically see to the right of the required field label.  An easy way to accomplish that with css is like this:

.required:after
{
    content: " *";
    font-weight: bold;
    color:#ff0000;
}

Then add the class anywhere you want it to apply:

@Html.LabelFor(model => model.agreement.programID, new { @class = "col-sm-2 form-control-label required" })


INCLUDE A PRINT BUTTON

Add CSS
//(#tabletoPrint is your div or table that you want to print)

 @media print {
     body * {
         visibility: hidden;
     }
     #tabletoPrint, #tabletoPrint * {
         visibility: visible;
     }
     #tabletoPrint {
         position: absolute;
         left: 0;
         top: 0;
     }
 }

Then just add your button
<a href="javascript:window.print()"><i class="fa fa-print">Print</i></a>

Sorting Ascending and Descending

Toggling the direction of your datagrid sort is easy using a session to remember which direction you sorted last.   You will want to declare an empty string in the top of your page       Dim SortField As String Then on your sort command add this logic - Example of entire command Private Sub dgTaskExceptions_SortCommand( ByVal source As Object , ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridSortCommandEventArgs) Handles dgTaskExceptions.SortCommand     SortField = e.SortExpression If Session( "toggle" ) = True Then SortField += " DESC" Session( "toggle" ) = False Else SortField += " Asc" Session( "toggle" ) = True End If Dim orderstring As String = SortField 'REBIND dgTaskExceptions.DataSource = POTracking_Data.tracking.getSampleTasks(orderstring) dgTaskExceptions.DataBind() End Sub   In my datalayer I add this logic to my query and pass in an OPTIONAL value Dim orderbyString As String = String .Empt
