Adding ng-boostrap to Angular app makes no effect on HTML controls

Question

I have recently tried adding ng-bootstrap to my asp.net mvc with Angular app. I followed the steps at ng-bootstrap and I can't get it to work. The controls look like plain html (like I didn't use ng-boostrap at all) I would appreciate any help.

main.ts

import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';

import { AppModule } from './app/app.module';

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

systemjs.config.js

/**
 * System configuration for Angular samples
 * Adjust as necessary for your application needs.
 */
(function (global) {
    System.config({
        paths: {
            // paths serve as alias
            'npm:': '/node_modules/'
        },
        // map tells the System loader where to look for things
        map: {
            // our app is within the app folder
            'app': '/src/app',

            // angular bundles

        },
        // packages tells the System loader how to load when no filename and/or no extension
        packages: {
            app: {
                defaultExtension: 'js',
                meta: {
                    './*.js': {
                        loader: '/src/systemjs-angular-loader.js'
                    }
                }
            },
            rxjs: {
                defaultExtension: 'js'
            }
        }
    });
})(this);

According to the ng-bootstrap documentation, you should not include bootstrap.min.js and jQuery in your project because

It is not necessary and might interfere with ng-bootstrap code.

But the main issue is that you didn't include NgbdDropdownBasic into your App module declarations:

import { NgModule }      from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
import { AppComponent }  from './app.component';
import { NgbModule } from '@ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap';
import { NgbdDropdownBasic } from './dropdown-basic'; // this

@NgModule({
  imports: [BrowserModule, BrowserAnimationsModule, NgbModule.forRoot()],
  declarations: [ AppComponent, NgbdDropdownBasic ], // and this
  bootstrap:    [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }

Each ng-bootstrap entity should be included separately. Want to use Datepicker? include NgbdDatepickerBasic, and so on...
