I implemented a lot of ASP.NET controls inheriting controls from existing control library. My problem is that I can't use existing library themes/ skin files for skinning my controls. Is there a way to use existing skin files in inherited controls? Changing parts or renaming skin files is not an option. I could read data from skin file and then apply it to control programatically. Is there some kind of API for reading skin files?
View 1 RepliesSay I am creating a Textbox in the codebehind of a page like this:
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnInit(e);
TextBox test = new TextBox();
test.SkinkId = "MySkin";
placeHolder.Controls.Add(test);
}
and in my skin file I have this:
<asp:TextBox
runat="server"
SkinId = "MySkin"
Width="400"
/>
Why is the skin not beeing applied to the control. If i declare the control in my aspx page it works ok, but if I try to do it programatically it does not work...
I'm trying to applicate a skin in UserControl but That doesn't work.
In the project I put in the folder App_Theme 2 folders :
- FirstTheme: I have inside Images Folder and and a stylsheets (Personnalisation.css)...It's a project's Theme.
- Skins : here we have default.skin
I created the folder UserControls in the project and putted inside 2 users controls.
In the default.skin I wrote this code :
<asp:TextBox runat="server" Width="250px" SkinID="textBoxSkin"/>
And when I'm In the TextBox on my usercontrol I can't see in the SkinID property the textBoxSkin. I insert in the code SkinID="textBoxSkin" but nothing happened.
I have several regular expression validators in my site. Some validate postal codes, others validate phone numbers and still others email addresses or something else. What I would like to do is be able to specify a SkinID for regex validators that have a more specific purpose (e.g. postal code validation), but also have the default definition for regex validators apply as well.
So, I could specify some properties that apply to ALL regex validators and then some properties that are specific to certain regex validators (which I would specify by SkinID). Is this possible, or does only 1 .skin file definition apply?

Is there a good way to apply intellisense in .skin files in ASP.NET 4? like a microsoft visual studio tool for example? I installed an intellisense schema for .skin files to my visual studio 2008 long time ago but it had some bugs so i had to remove it. any improvements in visual studio 2010?
View 1 RepliesActually the controls are in a user control on an aspx page that also uses a master page (if that matters)
I defined a table in the skin file with TableHeaderRow, HeaderTableCell. I added some formatting to these entries. The table defined in the control is not being skinned by this definition. If I add a "CssClass" on the TableHeaderCell in the control, the formatting works fine. If I add the CssClass to the skin it doesn't work.
Skin file:
<asp:Table runat="server" SkinID="dataTable" BorderStyle="None" CellPadding="0" CellSpacing="0" CssClass="table">
I have created inherited textbox control using windowscontrol library project.the code is here:

i am tryin to make an inherited custom label control.
what i want is i want to have a property for the label where one can select languages.

I have a project where i want (almost) all controls of the same type to also have an extender set with the SAME properties - is there some way to skin the existence of that extender instead of placing it on each and every control?
View 1 RepliesIf the answer to this question exists somewhere, I'm no good at searching for it. This is sort of a simple question, the response being two parts: (1) is it possible? (2) if so, how?
I've created a web user control for my site's footer. In my web.config I have it registered like this:
[Code]....
Then, within the pages on my site, I simply insert it like this:
[Code]....
But obviously, that didn't work. I get this error: The type or namespace name 'FooterControl' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
So I'm really not sure what to do at this point. I can put all of my code in the ASPX file and make my life easier, but I would kind of prefer not to.
Is it possible for a derived controls to inherit his base control skin.
Say I am deriving a control from TextBox, is it possible for the derived control to inherit the skin settings for Textbox or do they need to be defined again?
I am applying the default skins to all controls through the styleSheetTheme Page property I am using the Devexpress asp.net controls if that makes any difference.
I've found very little on developing skins for controls online. I can do everything except to know what the attributes / properties in a skin file are. I need a good resource for all attributes / properties for controls. Apart from that is it possible to do a lot more than can be achieved with css. In particular to change the appearance of the FileUpload button so that it matches all the other ImageButtons' appearances on my web page.
View 2 RepliesWhen I format an accordion control using a skin file (as opposed to entering the formatting as attributes on each <asp:Accordion> tag), the control renders as expected when the website is run. However, in the VS2010 designer, the control won't display but instead shows the generic "Error Rendering Control" box which hasthe exception, "Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute."
View 1 RepliesHow exactly do I style this control?
I have tried this but it doesn't work.
<asp:FileUpload id="upload_tb" runat="server" />
#upload_tb
{
width: 500px;
}
Also how can I style the browse button that comes with this control? If it is not possible are there other alternatives?
Edit:
I checked the generated source and asp.net gives the control this id ctl00_main_content_upload_tb
I changed the CSS to
#ctl00_main_content_upload_tb
{
width: 500px;
}
but it does not stretch the control. It adds padding to the right of the control.
this will work

View 1 RepliesI've got a Login control on a page, I'm trying to style the hyperlinks used in the control (e.g. forgotten password link). I've got a theme containing a stylesheet where I've defined link classes. I set the CssClass property of the HyperLinkStyle property of the control, but it has no effect.
