Make Available in Razor

So you can use the extension methods in your views you need to update the web.config in your views directory to add a reference to the new .dll.

<system.web.webPages.razor>
    <host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
    <pages pageBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage">
        <namespaces>
            <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc" />
            <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />
            <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
            <add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
            <add namespace="Mvc.Bootstrap.Core"/> <!--This is the the important bit -->
        </namespaces>
    </pages>
</system.web.webPages.razor>

Use in your Views

Example Model

public class Item
{
    public string Title { get; set; }
    public string Description { get; set; }
}

Usage in a View

@model Item

@using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Home", FormMethod.Post, new {@class = "form-vertical"}))
{
    @Html.TextBoxControlGroupFor(m => m.Title)
    @Html.TextAreaControlGroupFor(m => m.Description)

    @Html.ButtonFormAction("Submit", Buttons.Primary)
}

This will create an ASP.Net MVC Input Extension that works with Twitter Bootstrap 3.0. This includes validation and error messages.
