How to set the width of the text box when using Html.TextBoxFor

Question

I have the following line in my view:

     <%= Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Description)%>                    
         


        

Answer 1

A reusable solution is to set the width in your css file

.wide
{
     width: 300px;
}

then set it using the markup above

<%= Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Description, new { @class= "wide" })%>
