if u read this b4 watching (and u really want to watch this), save your time and go to the last 3 minutes where you can find a short sum of the video.

also, i didn't see anything new in this video.

i would suggest next time, to make videos length smaller and not to waste valuable time of the viewer.

I really thought i would learn something good here.

I didn't mean to be rude or something, just to save time to others.

But i stand behind the length of the video, too much (almost 30 minutes!!!) for about 10 lines of css and 10 lines of html... too much.

I think the MVC videos for learning it are shorter.

Just a suggestion.

I'm just getting to grips with ASP.NET so it was interesting to see how you went about using CSS with ASP.NET and Visual Studio; I think the comment about this being for beginners is justified, I'd imagine anyone vaguely familiar with both ASP.NET and CSS would know all of this already - although I'm not sure that just watching the last 3 minutes would achieve much. As am ASP.NET beginner it was great.

Way too long for such a simple, and very geared towards beginners concept. I shouldn't have had to sit through 5+ minutes of setting up the project and the page. That should have all been done before this video started.

He did, however, bring up a very valid point. Styling tags is not a good way to achieve what you need. Also, simple, granular classes give you much more power over your page with less work. He also should have mentioned that more than one class can be applied to one element (eg: all of his classes that used font-weight:bold; could have had bold as another class that was then applied like class='bold hdi-ui-header')

A for topic

B for execution

When you think about maintenance requests, you'll find yourself going back into the elements and removing/adding "bold" in the class attribute. That is about the same as implementing 'font-weight:bold' as an inline style and then having to go into each of the elements and remove it when the client changes his/her mind. Though it seems repetitive, it is a lot less work and bandwidth to add/remove 'font-weight:bold' to each class definition as needed in a central .css than it is to add/remove class="bold" from individual elements throughout an entire project. And I believe it is ultimately more flexible. I don't know ... you be the judge :-)

I was not even sure that you could apply a style sheet to the content page. Now I think I can do what I have spent the better part of a day trying to do.

@dadvir, I would suggest that by the time Chris created the stylesheet he had explained exactly what he proposed to do. I knew at that time I was not going to see any layout styling but I knew I would see styling applied elsewhere other than the master page, which was a big part of what I needed. So if you were not interested in what he was demonstrating then you should have stopped watching then.
