Anyone have any fav Bootstrap templates for use with .Net? In particular, a data entry type app with standard admin features.
Metronic is one that I like. I would prefer something that isn't unnecessarily bloated, but has some good stuff built in to make the job quicker - particularly for a responsive interface. I'm less bothered about phones at this stage, but tabs and PC would be great. Collapsible side bar, menu, etc. Dashboard would be nice. JQuery + C# ASP.Net will likely be the main tech bits used.

Which do you use and like?

I dislike templates, so unfortunately I can't recommend any.

It really isn't that difficult to write your own responsive CSS. You'll end up with something fit for your site's purpose at probably a fraction of the size of a template. You'll also end up fiddling less with the template's classes and hammering your markup and content to fit inside it's framework.

Agree, but it depends how much time you have to turn out v1.0 and how much attention to UI detail your devs pay...

Damn... nice
Free? Looks promising!
Free, open source, and there's even a nuget package.

Personally I'm not a fan of starting with everything and then using 10% of it. It's not modular in any way but it is a lot easier copy/pasting examples when the whole thing is already there, just makes it a pain later to figure out what you're actually using.

Coding in CSS Bootsrap is better than templates.
I have used both templates and frameworks. Frameworks are better. You get a smaller file size thus leading to faster web app load. Templates also gives you junk of codes you wouldn't need at all. Learn to code in Bootstap 3.xx or Bootstrap 4, you ll love it.

I may just use the templates as a point of reference then and go Bootstrap + MVC alone. Thanks!
