How To Align Table Columns Inside A Detail View With It's Parent Bootstrap-Table Columns In ASP.NET MVC

-
Good evening,

When working with Detail View option in Bootstrap-Table by Wenzhixin, there's a possibility that you have to render the details information using a table element to the detail view with same number of columns and headers of the parent table as per client request. However, upon rendering the details view with the table element, the child table's columns are not aligned with the parent Bootstrap-Table such as the sample screen below.
How To Align Table Columns Inside A Detail View With It's Parent Bootstrap-Table In ASP.NET MVC
I tried different solutions such as CSS, jQuery/JavaScript and MutationObserver Pattern which work for a few details view and the rest would be in disarray. Before presenting the solution, here are the codes involved in this project.
Bootrap Table With data-detail-view property enabled. 
<table id="tblDetailsReport"
	  class="TableBorderCollapse table-striped"
	  data-toggle="table"
	  data-sort-name="JobNumber"
	  data-sort-order="asc"
	  data-search="true"
	  data-show-columns="false"
	  data-pagination="false"
	  data-advanced-search="true"
	  data-id-table="advancedTable"
	  data-show-multi-sort="false"
	  data-show-export="false"
	  data-toolbar="#toolbar"
	  data-click-to-select="true"
	  data-url='@Url.Action("GetDetailsReportRecords", "ClientDashboard")'
	  data-cookie="true"
	  data-cookie-id-table="tblDetailsReportCookieID"
	  data-page-size="25"
	  data-striped="true"
	  data-show-footer="true"
	  data-detail-view="true"
	  data-page-list="[25, 500, 1000, 10000, All]">
  <thead>
	 <tr>
		<th data-field="JobType" data-sortable="true" data-searchable="true" data-footer-formatter="DetailsReport.JobTypeFormatter">Job Type</th>
		<th data-field="SowBidNum" data-sortable="true" data-searchable="true" data-formatter="DetailsReport.SowBidFormatter">BID/SOW</th>
		<th data-field="PONum" data-sortable="true" data-searchable="true">PO</th>
		<th data-field="JobNumber" data-sortable="true" data-searchable="true" data-formatter="DetailsReport.ProjectLinkFormatter">Job Number</th>
		<th data-field="Description" data-sortable="true" data-searchable="true">Description</th>
		<th data-field="Rate" data-searchable="true" data-formatter="DetailsReport.RateFormatter" data-class="tdHrsRateAmtDetRpt">Rates</th>
		<th data-field="TotalHours" data-searchable="true" data-formatter="DetailsReport.HoursFormatter" data-class="tdHrsRateAmtDetRpt">Hours</th>
		<th data-field="Amount" data-sortable="true" data-searchable="true" data-formatter="DetailsReport.AmountFormatter" data-footer-formatter="DetailsReport.TotalFormatter" data-class="tdHrsRateAmtDetRpt">Amount</th>
		<th data-field="InvoiceStatus" data-sortable="true" data-searchable="true">Invoice Status</th>
	 </tr>
  </thead>
</table>
JavaScript function that perform's a POST operation to the MVC controller that returns a Partial View. It also adds the job number which is the unique ID for details view resizing if expand event is executed. 
function GetReportDetails () {
  $('#tblDetailsReport').on('expand-row.bs.table', function (e, index, row, $detail) {
	 var myURl = urlClientDetailsView;

	 var data = JSON.stringify({
		'JobNumber': row.JobNumber
	 });

	 //add job number to details view for resizing
	 let job = row.JobNumber;
	 if (sessionStorage.getItem("jobNumbersDetail") !== null && sessionStorage.getItem("jobNumbersDetail") !== undefined) {
		let sObject = sessionStorage.getItem("jobNumbersDetail").split(",");            
		if (sObject.length > 0) {
		   if (sObject.indexOf(job) == -1) {
			  sObject.push(job);
			  sessionStorage.setItem("jobNumbersDetail", sObject);
		   }
		}
	 }
	 else {
		let sObject = [];
		sObject.push(job);
		sessionStorage.setItem("jobNumbersDetail", sObject);
	 }

	 $.ajax({
		type: 'POST',
		url: myURl,
		contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
		data: data,
		success: function (data, status, xhr) {
		   $detail.html(data);
		},
		error: function (xhr, status, error) {
		   alert('An error occured. Please run the Details Report Again.');
		}
	 });
  });
};
Collapse Event when executed removes the job number/unique id from the list of session for resizing. 
function CollapseReportDetails  () {
  $('#tblDetailsReport').on('collapse-row.bs.table', function (e, index, row, $detail) {
	 let job = row.JobNumber;

	 //remove job number from details view for resizing
	 if (sessionStorage.getItem("jobNumbersDetail") !== null && sessionStorage.getItem("jobNumbersDetail") !== undefined) {
		let sObject = sessionStorage.getItem("jobNumbersDetail").split(",");
		if (sObject.length > 0) {
		   if (sObject.indexOf(job) !== -1) {
			  let idx = sObject.indexOf(job);
			  sObject.splice(idx, 1);
			  sessionStorage.setItem("jobNumbersDetail", sObject);
		   }
		}
	 }
  });
};
MVC Action Result that queries the database and returns the Partial View page. 
[Authorize]
[HttpPost]
public PartialViewResult GetDetailReportDetailView(string project)
{
	 clsClientModel model;
	 
	 //Codes to retrieve data from the database...

	 return PartialView("../ClientDashboard/DetailsReportDetailView", model);
}
The Partial View page that is rendered in the Details View of the Bootstrap-Table. 
@{
   Layout = "";
}
@model List<JobActivities>

<style type="text/css">
   .tblDetailView {
      width: 100% !important;
      margin: 0px !important;
   }

   #divViewDetailContainer {
      display: flex;
      justify-content: center;
      padding: 0;
   }

   .detail-view > td{
      padding: 2px !important;
   }
</style>

<div id="divViewDetailContainer">
   <table class="tblDetailView table table-condensed table-bordered table-striped">
      <thead>
         <tr>
               <th class="tdJType"></th>
               <th class="tdBid"></th>
               <th class="tdPo"></th>
               <th class="tdJob"></th>
               <th class="tdAct"></th>
               <th class="tdRate"></th>
               <th class="tdHrs"></th>
               <th class="tdAmt"></th>
               <th class="tdIst"></th>
         </tr>
      </thead>
      <tbody>
         @for (int i = 0; i < Model.Count; i++)
         {
            if (Model[i].isShowInDetail)
            {
               <tr>
                  <td></td>
                  <td></td>
                  <td></td>
                  <td></td>
                  <td>@Model[i].ActivityName</td>
                  <td style="text-align:right">@Model[i].RateDisplay</td>
                  <td style="text-align:right">@Model[i].Hours</td>
                  <td style="text-align:right">@Model[i].AmountDisplay</td>
                  <td></td>
               </tr>
            }
         }
      </tbody>
   </table>
</div>
After trying several times, I finally solved the task by revising the Partial View page above. First, I set the id of the table element with a job number or other unique values might help. Next is I created a function that obtains the job number/unique value which is the id of the table and the width of each Bootstrap Table column headers thru it's class or data-field property and use those values to set the widths of the Partial View table columns. See html markup of the table in Bootrap Table With data-detail-view property enabled. with the data-field names. After that, the columns in the child table are now aligned with the parent table. This also works when the page is resized. The revised Partial View page markup is shown below. 
@{
   Layout = "";
}

<style type="text/css">
   .tblDetailView {
      width: 100% !important;
      margin: 0px !important;
   }

   #divViewDetailContainer {
      display: flex;
      justify-content: center; 
      padding: 0;
   }

   .detail-view > td{
      padding: 2px !important;
   }
</style>
<script>
   $(function () {
      OnDetailsViewInitLoad();
      $(window).resize(function () {
         //resize details tables
         if (sessionStorage.getItem("jobNumbersDetail") !== null && sessionStorage.getItem("jobNumbersDetail") !== undefined) {
            let sObject = sessionStorage.getItem("jobNumbersDetail").split(",");
            if (sObject.length > 0) {
               for (var i = 0; i < sObject.length; i++) {
                  DynamicDetailsSizing(sObject[i]);
               }
            }
         }
      })
   });

   function OnDetailsViewInitLoad() {
      let modelCount = @Html.Raw(@Model.Count);
      if (parseFloat(modelCount) <= 0 || modelCount == undefined || modelCount == '' || modelCount == null) {
         alert('An error occured. Please run the Details Report Again.');
      }
      else {
         try {
            let jobNum = '@Html.Raw(@Model[0].JobNumber)';
            DynamicDetailsSizing(jobNum);
         }
         catch (err){
            alert('An error occured. Please run the Details Report Again.');
         }
      }
   }

   function DynamicDetailsSizing(jobNum) {
      $('#' + jobNum + ' .tdJType').width(parseFloat($("[class=detail]").width()) + parseFloat($("[data-field=JobType]").width()));

Good day to all! Here's an example of a WPF CRUD (Create,Update and Delete) project using the DataGrid control, ADO.NET Entity Framework 6.x, C#.NET and Model–View–Viewmodel(MVVM) architectural pattern. This post was based from this tutorial WPF CRUD With DataGrid, Entity Framework And C#.NET except that we are now using the MVVM framework. The steps below are pretty straightforward and easy to follow. I. Project Setup 1. Add a table called Students in you database. The complete script is found in this post WPF CRUD With DataGrid, Entity Framework And C#.NET 2. Create a WPF Project and add four folders called DataAccess, Model, View and ViewModel. 3. Your project structure may look similar with the screenshot provided below. II. Coding The Model and Repository Class 1. Inside the Model folder, add an ADO.NET Entity Data Model that connects to the Students table in your database. On my part, I named it StudentModel . 2.

How To Insert Or Add Emojis In Microsoft Teams Status Message

Good day Gents! I was trying to update my Microsoft Teams status and was wondering if I can add or insert emoji. For editing or adding new teams status, only text fields are available and there's no emoji icon similar to writing a teams message. After googling for a few minutes, I found this link Emoji's in status which is a feature request in Microsoft Teams User's Voice Forum. So far this upgrade request only has thirty votes which is relatively small and may be considered a low priority for the product team to implement. Given the limitations at hand, I tried several approach including copying an emoji in a chat message which didn't work and later found a solution using Microsoft Outlook 365. First is to create a new email message in Microsoft Outlook and press (Window Key + .). The emoji dropdown control will appear. Next is to select the emoji that you wanted to add to Teams. Copy the emoji from the newly created email message template and paste that to Micr

Good afternoon fellow developers! I have been working with Bootstrap Modals before and it's time to demonstrate its significance using a simple ASP.NET MVC CRUD (Create Update Delete) application project using Entity Framework Database First approach. First is to create a basic BookDetails table on your SQL Server instance. USE [DemoDB] GO /****** Object: Table [dbo].[BookDetails] Script Date: 11/2/2020 12:26:53 PM ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[BookDetails]( [BookSerialNo] [int] IDENTITY (1,1) NOT NULL , [BookISBN] [ nchar ](15) NULL , [BookTitle] [varchar](120) NULL , [BookAuthor] [varchar](60) NULL , [BookPublisher] [varchar](50) NULL , [BookCategory] [varchar](20) NULL , PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [BookSerialNo] ASC ) WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF , STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF , IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF , ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON , ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON ) ON [ PRIMARY ] ) ON [ PRIMARY ] GO Next is to create an ASP.
