How to customize navbar in mvc bootstrap (width)

Question

I want to customize the navbar to be equal size as the container below:

<div class="container jumbotron row col-sm-12" style="width: 100%; margin: 0px auto;">
    <h1>ASP.NET</h1>
    <p class="lead">ASP.NET is a free web framework for building great Web sites and Web applications using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.</p>
    <p><a href="http://asp.net" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg">Learn more &raquo;</a></p>
</div>

I've tried like everything, changed every div and none of this works, so I am wondering what am I doing wrong.

Picture to precise what I mean:

Use chrome, right click, inspect element, look at Inspector + Rules or Computed - find width, see what's setting it. Do the same for the main content area (you may need to select the parent element(s)) — fdomn-m

You can wrap your code in a div with the container class:

<div class="container">
    <div class="container jumbotron row col-sm-12" style="width: 100%; margin: 0px auto;">
      <h1>ASP.NET</h1>
      <p class="lead">ASP.NET is a free web framework for building great Web sites and Web applications using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.</p>
      <p><a href="http://asp.net" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg">Learn more »</a></p>
  </div>

You can just rearrange your containers, you don't really need the one with the Jumbotron.

<div class="container">
  <nav class="navbar navbar-default">
    <!-- Brand and toggle get grouped for better mobile display -->
    <div class="navbar-header">
      <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#bs-example-navbar-collapse-1" aria-expanded="false"> <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
        <span class="icon-bar"></span>

      </button> <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Brand</a>

    </div>
    <!-- Collect the nav links, forms, and other content for toggling -->
