title: ASP .NET MVC 5 - Decrease the left hand margin
body: <p>I have created a new ASP .NET MVC application in VS2015 using the default template.  My index views are used the default shared _Layout file.</p>
  
  <p>The issue is that the views all have excessive left hand margins with data being pushed off screen on the right.</p>
  
  <p>How can I modify the CSS (bootstrap?) to reduce the left hand margin?</p>

  <p><strong>Update1:</strong></p>
  
  <p>Per the hint from Aravind.</p>
  
  <p>I opened boostrap.css and then modified the css property .pull-left and commented out the float code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>.pull-left {
    /*float: left !important;*/
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Update2</strong></p>
  
  <p>Per another hint from @Steven B</p>
  
  <p>Went into _Layout.cshtml and edited to show:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="container-fluid body-content"&gt;
          @RenderBody()
          &lt;hr /&gt;
          &lt;footer&gt;
              &lt;p&gt;&amp;copy; @DateTime.Now.Year - Penske Logistics&lt;/p&gt;
          &lt;/footer&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
