title: Is there a solution for using ASP.NET MVC 5 Html.EditorFor() and Bootstrap 3.0?
body: <p><strong>Question:</strong></p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to make the ASP.NET MVC 5 Html.EditorFor() form helpers work with the changed <a href="http://getbootstrap.com/css/#forms" rel="noreferrer">Bootstrap 3 form syntax</a>.*?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Discussion</strong> (of what I have looked into already):</p>
  
  <p>It appears there are a many SO questions regarding hacks to override the built in MVC helpers. In general, it doesn't look like there is a supported solution to modify the helper HTML. (please correct me if I'm wrong)</p>
  
  <p>Therefore, is it possible to build a shim CSS file that adapts the Helper's 2.3.x HTML to the look of the Bootstrap 3 form CSS? It seems that most other aspects of MVC 5 are Bootstrap 3 compatible except for the auto form fields.</p>
  
  <p>The benefit of a CSS shim, is that it could be removed when ASP.NET MVC is updated to support the newer Bootstrap syntax natively.</p>
  
  <p>*I acknowledge that ASP.NET MVC 5 is still in beta and has been developed for Bootstrap 2.3.x since 3.0 was also in beta at the time.</p>
