Is there a way to add white space in MVC while using variables? for example foreach(item in collection) {#item #item}. How to make a blank space something like " " in it?
You can use pre tag , which defines preformatted text.
foreach(item in collection) {
<pre>#item #item</pre>
}
have you tried this can be repeated i.e. you can do line breaks with <br />
In my application I have used a space after the link's name ("Details ") as shown here
#Html.ActionLink("Details ","Details", new { Variable_ID = item.VIP_ID})
#Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { Variable_ID = item.VIP_ID })
so my links will look like this: Details Edit, instead of DetailsEdit.
You can also put a separation bar like this "Details | ", so you can have
Details | Edit
<span> </span>
Insert " " to add more blank spaces
//This will work for sure, as MVC C# using razor syntax then you just need to put space between those two only
foreach(var item in collection) {
<span>#item #item</span>
}
If you wish to add single space between item:
foreach(item in collection)
{
<p>#item #item</p>
}
But you will have better flexibility if you wrap it in a HTML element like div or span,
and then add padding/margin to the element using CSS.
foreach(item in collection)
{
<div class="user-defined-classname">#item</div>
<div class="user-defined-classname">#item</div>
}
In CSS
.user-defined-classname{
padding-left|right|top|bottom: 10px
}
Suggestion:
The "Views" folder is specifically meant to just contain your view files (i.e. .cshtml files).
Try adding your CSS file to a folder in the root of the ASP.NET project. Often, this folder is named "Content", but you can rename it as "Styles" or something else. Then you can load your CSS file from within a view using a link tag:
<link href="~/Content/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
This may help.
One more variant:
#(string.Format("{0} {1}", item, item))

There's an img element being created somehow on this page that I can't figure out how to target. It's generated by a script I don't have access to so I can't just delete it.
There are no ID or class attributed to it so I can't apply CSS (that I know of). The source link also changes for other article pages so I can't reference the URL either.
Is there anyway I can target or just hide it? It's creating extra white space at the bottom of the page.

There are two ways depending upon the possibilities on your website.
1: I suppose there will be no img tag directly inside the body tag if you code properly and put it inside a div or any other tag. So, for this solution is:
body > img {display: none;}
2: If first is not the case and the image will always come after the script tag. Then this also is the solution:
body > script + img {display: none;}
BTW, both are working in your situation.
Right click on the page and view source. You can see the element present int the page source. Delete it in the source code in line 551.
If the image src attribute is guaranteed to be consistent over time, then you can target it by that attribute, and remove it.
document
.querySelector('img[src="/support/solutions/articles/27000068245-payment-methods/hit"]')
.remove()
Here is a JS solution to target the last class in the page before all those JS src CDNs... As it seems the IMG tag is after a bunch of JS tags with the very last element in your page being the layout class, so we create a helper function that gets the siblings of the target element, then we loop over the array returned by the function and set an index, then check the tag.tagName === 'IMG' and check our iterated index => i is higher than the set index, if we get a match, remove that element from the DOM.
const removeImg = document.querySelector('.layout')
const body = document.body
function getAllSiblings(element, parent) {
const children = [...parent.children];
return children.filter(child => child !== element);
}
function removeImageAfterElement(el) {
let index = 0;
getAllSiblings(removeImg, body).forEach((tag, i) => {
tag.classList.contains(el) ? index = i : null
tag.tagName === "IMG" && i > index ? tag.remove() : null
})
}
removeImageAfterElement(removeImg)
<body>
<div class="another-class"></div>
<div class="layout layout--anonymous">
some text and page content

In trying to fine-tune the appearance of my Web API page, I'm making changes to CSS classes, and adding new classes, to \Content/Site.css, yet they do not alter the appearance of the page as they should, even when I append "!important" to specific rules.
For example, I added a horizontal rule to the page, which does show up, but quite unobtrusively (with a faint, barely discernible line). So I added this .css class to Site.css:
hr {
border: 0;
height: 1px;
color: navy;
background: #333;
}
...which works just fine in another project, but doesn't in this one. The line remains faint even when I append "! important" to the "height" rule there:
height: 1px !important;
I tried right-clicking the page at runtime and selecting "Reload Page" but that made no difference, either.
Other CSS changes (margins and paddings) are not having any effect, either; this is just one specific case whose resolution should work for all of them.
What do I need to do to get modified/added CSS rules to be applied?
UPDATE
Even when I, acquiescing to Algernop K's suggestion, change the code from this:
. . .
builder.Append(string.Format("<h1 style=\'margin-left:16\'>Available PRO*ACT Reports for <span style='color: #000080;'>{0}</span></h1>", _unit.ToUpper()));
builder.Append("<p style='margin-left:16;'>(Click any link below to download the Excel spreadsheet file to your computer)</p>");
builder.Append("</div>");
builder.Append("<div class=\"row\">");
builder.Append("<div class=\"col-md-12\">");
builder.Append("<hr />");
. . .
...to this:
. . .
builder.Append(string.Format("<h1 style=\'margin-left:16; margin-top:48;\'>Available PRO*ACT Reports for <span style='color: #000080;'>{0}</span></h1>", _unit.ToUpper()));
builder.Append("<p style='margin-left:16;'>(Click any link below to download the Excel spreadsheet file to your computer)</p>");
builder.Append("</div>");
builder.Append("<div class=\"row\">");
builder.Append("<div class=\"col-md-12\">");
builder.Append("<hr style=\'size:4;\' />");
. . .
...(adding "; margin-top:48;" to the h1 element, and "size" to the hr), no change is evident.
UPDATE 2
A "funny" thing happened on the way to the Inspecting of Elements. As Chris W suggested, I right-clicked the hr element on the page, but it's so miniscule that I may have got a different element to inspect. Nevertheless, an err msg in the console may be revealing the basic problem - there it says, "bootstrap.min.js:6 Uncaught Error: Bootstrap's JavaScript requires jQuery"
UPDATE 3
Should I explicitly add my \Content\Site.css file to the html? I tried dragging it from Solution Explorer below the lines shown above, hoping it would generate the correct code, but instead it gave me:
C:\Projects\ProActWebReports\ProActWebReports\Content\Site.css
...and a prompt to add "'System.Security.Policy.Site' and all other references in file"
Note that I have a related question here
UPDATE 4
FWIW, here's the entire (relevant) code that builds up this html:
namespace PlatypusWebReports.Controllers
{
[RoutePrefix("api")]
public class LandingPageController : ApiController
{
private string _unit;
[Route("{unit}")]
public HttpResponseMessage Get(string unit)
{
_unit = unit;
string beginningHtml = GetBeginningHTML();
string deliveryPerformanceHtml = GetDeliveryPerformanceHTML();
string fillRateHtml = GetFillRateHTML();
string priceComplianceHtml = GetPriceComplianceHTML();
string produceUsageHtml = GetProduceUsageHTML();
string endingHtml = GetEndingHTML();
String HtmlToDisplay = string.Format("{0}{1}{2}{3}{4}{5}",
beginningHtml,
deliveryPerformanceHtml,
fillRateHtml,
priceComplianceHtml,
produceUsageHtml,
endingHtml);
return new HttpResponseMessage()
{
Content = new StringContent(
HtmlToDisplay,
Encoding.UTF8,
"text/html"
)
};
}
private string GetBeginningHTML()
{
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
builder.Append("<html>");
builder.Append("<head>");
builder.Append("<title>");
builder.Append(string.Format("Available Reports For {0}", _unit));
builder.Append(_unit);
builder.Append("</title>");
builder.Append("<script src='https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.2.min.js' integrity='sha256-lZFHibXzMHo3GGeehn1hudTAP3Sc0uKXBXAzHX1sjtk=' crossorigin='anonymous'></script>");
builder.Append("<link href='https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css' rel='stylesheet' />");
builder.Append("<script src='https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js'></script>");
builder.Append("</head>");
builder.Append("<body class=\"body-content\" style='margin-top:0;margin-left:60;margin-right:60;'>");
builder.Append("<div class=\"jumbotronjr\">");
builder.Append("<img src=\"http://www.Platypususa.com/wp-content/themes/Platypus/images/pa_logo_notag.png\" alt=\"Platypus logo\">");
builder.Append(string.Format("<h1 style=\'margin-left:16; margin-top:48;\'>Available Platypus Reports for <span style='color: #000080;'>{0}</span></h1>", _unit.ToUpper()));
builder.Append("<p style='margin-left:16;'>(Click any link below to download the Excel spreadsheet file to your computer)</p>");
builder.Append("</div>");
builder.Append("<div class=\"row\">");
builder.Append("<div class=\"col-md-12\">");
builder.Append("<hr style='color:red;height:12;' />");
builder.Append("</div>");
builder.Append("</div>");
// for beginning the row div
builder.Append("<div class=\"row\">");
return builder.ToString();
}
private string GetEndingHTML()
{
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
// for ending the row div
builder.Append("</div>");
builder.Append("</body>");
builder.Append("</html>");
return builder.ToString();
}
. . .
Everything is displaying basically as I want it to, it's just not allowing me to add the "gingebread" (adding margins, hrs, shadow around the used area)
UPDATE 5
Even though _ViewStart.cshtml points to Layout:
#{
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}
...and _Layout.cshtml renders (supposedly) the Styles in the Content/css folder, which contains the Sites.css which I have been adding CSS styles madly to:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>#ViewBag.Title - PRO*ACT USA</title>
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/modernizr")
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/bootstrap")
#Styles.Render("~/Content/css")
</head>
<body>
<div class="container body-content">
#RenderBody()
</div>
#*#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/bootstrap")*#
#RenderSection("scripts", required: false)
</body>
</html>
...all that does nothing to add these styles I want. The only way seems to use inline styles:
builder.Append("<body style='margin-top:40;margin-left:60;margin-right:60;'>");
. . .
builder.Append("<hr style='border:0;height:1;background:#333;color:navy;' />");
The whole process could certainly be made much clea[n,r]er / more straightforward.
I have the following string value generated in the controller.
cc.lstchat = "Reply the Number with your question... <br />";
foreach (clsChat item in lstchat)
{
cc.lstchat =cc.lstchat + item.DisplayNumber+". " + item.ChatItem+" <br/> ";
}
Now i'm trying to display above string value inside a div tag in my view but it does not render the line breaks.
<div id="divChat" style="width:400px;height:300px;border:double">
#Model.lstchat.ToString()
</div>
Try the #Html.Raw method
#Html.Raw(Model.lstchat)
Use Html.Raw() it is used to render any string as HTML.
`#Html.Raw("input data in here is rendered as HTML only")`
please please be careful with #Html.Raw() because of HTML injection (eg my comment will be <script>...</script> test - that an XSS right away. If you just want line breaks - consider this answer:
#Html.Raw(Html.Encode(Model.CommentText).Replace("\n", "<br />"))
How can I include a non-breaking space ( ) within a Razor helper method? Here's the helper in question:
#helper RenderClipResult(Clip clip, IList<string> searchTerms)
{
<div class="result">
<!-- other clip stuff -->
#if (clip.ThirdPartyMaterials != null && clip.ThirdPartyMaterials.Count > 0)
{
<p>
<span class="heading">Third Party Material</span><br/>
#foreach (var material in clip.ThirdPartyMaterials)
{
#AddElement("Description", material.Description, searchTerms) #AddElement("Cost", material.Cost, searchTerms)
<br />
}
</p>
}
</div>
}
AddElement is another custom helper. The output I'm looking for is something like this:
Third Party Material
first entry
second entry
third entry
I could wrap the AddElement line in a span tag for styling but it's another html tag and css rule, just to indent some text by a single character width. Might have to go that way as Razor is not able to parse the space
Add #: before your non-breaking space html code
The second option is to use construction: #Html.Raw(" ") . This also can be user with multiplied nbsp-signs, so you can put result of the string builder to RAW function.
I'll try to explain:
I have numerous div classes, but for the sake of simplicity, let's say I only have 3.
Someone is viewing DIV 1, and I want to give them the option of only printing DIV 1, omitting 2 and 3.
However, on the same page, I would like to give them the option to ONLY PRINT DIV 2. Or only print DIV 3.
I think I get how you can omit certain things from getting printed. But how can you select a section here or there on the same page to be printed with a print link.
Thanks,
Tracy
You can use jQuery to show/hide divs. Read the jQuery tutorial:
http://docs.jquery.com/Tutorials
The code will look this way:
<script>
function showDiv(n) {
$('.divs').hide();
$('#div_'+n).show();
}
$(document).ready(function() { showDiv(1); });
</script>
<a href='javascript:showDiv(n)'>show div n</a>
<div class='divs' id='div_n'>I'm div n</div>
There are many related posts on printing div content, this particular question was still open though it was asked in '10.. Following JavaScript function can be used for printing content of a selected Div tag. Hope this helps. Declaimer: I used some of the existing answers, fixed/enhanced code/error(s) to work with (and tested on) IE-8.
function printDiv(divName) {
var divToPrint = document.getElementById(divName);
var newWin = window.open('', 'PrintWindow', 'width=400, height=400, top=100, left=100', '');
newWin.document.open();
newWin.document.write('<html><body onload="window.print()">' + divToPrint.innerHTML + '</body></html>');
newWin.document.close();
setTimeout(function () { newWin.close(); }, 10);
}
Call printDiv from anywhere in page or from within selected Div. Here is test link:
Print Customer Data
Print Order Data
Assign respective IDs to Div that is to be printed:
<div id="divCustomerData">Div Contents goes here... </div>
The only catch right now is it loses css styles. I'll update response when i get a chance to fix it. Thanks.

I would give each div an id, and then using the above plugin (i wrote) specify according to div id.
