As I work on updating an old application with Bootstrap styling, one challenge that keeps arising is how to style an asp:DropDownList to look like a Bootstrap dropdown.
I found a helpful Stack Overflow post suggesting the use of the form-control class. While this did provide the desired style, it caused the control to default to 100% width due to the priority of the form-control class over the grid's width.
I've been exploring ways to make the grid width take precedence, but I'm starting to question if using the form-control class was the right approach from the beginning.
Personally, I'd rather avoid completely reworking the asp:DropDownList into a button and ul format as demonstrated in Bootstrap examples. The sheer volume of DropdownLists requiring this transformation makes it impractical and not worth the effort.
