Bootstrap for ASP.NET MVC

Chapter 2
To generate multiline textboxes that look similar across our site and for example,
always renders three rows, perform the following steps:
1. Add a new ile called MultilineText.cshtml to the EditorTemplates
folder.
2. Add the following code to the ile:
@model string
@Html.TextArea("", ViewData.TemplateInfo.FormattedModelValue.
ToString(),new { @class = "form-control", rows = 3 })
This code renders a text area element using the TextArea HTML helper and
sets its class property to use the Bootstrap form-control style as well as
specifying the number of rows the multiline textbox should render.
In order for the view to use the correct editor template, we need to make an
adjustment to our model. By adding a DataType attribute to the multiline
property in our model, we can specify which editor template should be used
when rendering the speciic property. For example, in the following code,
we'll specify that the Description property should use the MultiLineText
editor template:
[DataType(DataType.MultilineText)]
public string Description { get; set; }
