Under what conditions will the bootstrap snippets tab in the toolbox appear?

When a webform is added to a project, There is a design view for adding elements to the page. Is there a view with a similar functionality for bootstrap elements?

No matter the combinations I have tried, I cannot get such a toolbox tab to appear, Is there something I haven't installed? I have uninstalled and reinstalled from nuget many times in many combinations.

Is there a tutorial or web video that can provide from guidance? I have tried every search combination I can think of and watched hours of videos and am coming up dry.

Unfortunately, Bootstrap does not use a 'Drag and Drop' functionality nor there is a 'tab snippet', at least not on visual studio, unlike other.Net controls. Instead, the Bootstrap components are called either through It's Library Files (Downloaded) or simply reference the files on the provided servers using Bootstrap CDN.

Short answer: It uses CSS HTML and a little bit of JS. I strongly recommend you look into Bootstrap Documentation and Bootstrap Components.

  • I was doing that silly assumption thing, that there might be extended functionality for the bootstrap elements. As I think about it... it's just an html button with more stuff. – WoofTEASE Nov 08 '17 at 23:23
  • That's right and I'm glad you were able to figure it out, it's simply a normal HTML button with bits additional lines of code just to make it look cooler. – Tebogo Khanye Nov 08 '17 at 23:37
