Inline CSS and Styles with Html Helpers in MVC3 Razor

In Asp.net, we can custom the look and feel of a server controls by using CSS class,id and inline css. Similarly, we can change the style of Html Helpers in MVC razor. I this article, I am going to explain how can change the style of a Html Helpers by using CSS.

CSS Class

 .inputclass
{
 width:100px;
 height:25px;
} 

Apply CSS Class to Html Helpers

Suppose above css class is defined in the external style sheet. Now you want to apply this class to html helpers then we need to add class name by using @class like as :

 @Html.TextBox("Name", new { @class="inputclass" })
@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Name, new { @class="inputclass" }) 

Apply Inline CSS to Html Helpers

We can also add inline css to html helpers by using style like as :

 @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Name, new { style="width:100px;height:25px" })
@Html.TextBox("Name", new { style="width:100px;height:25px" })
