SkinID not working for images

02-05-2007

Hello,

In my code I set the SkindId for image objects before the Page_Load event
for the page.
The image is created then added to the control list of an HtmlAnchor object
already present in the ascx page.
I checked with traces that the skinid is correctlyset, theApp_Theme folder
contains the correct Theme whichcontains the Skin, and this last file
contain correct path to the gif image placed in a folder under the
currenttheme.
But no image displayed, looking to the generated source I find <img src=""
......> ?
Is thisa known problem ?
Any help welcome.

Howdy,

I think you haven't set Theme attribute of the page. I copied working
example for you:
-- begin aspx code --
<%@ Page Language="C#" EnableViewState="true" AutoEventWireup="true"
CodeFile="HelloWorld.aspx.cs" Inherits="HelloWorld"
Theme="Red" %>

<html>
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="Form1" runat="server">

<script runat="server">
protected void Page_Init(object source, EventArgs e)
{
Image image = new Image();

image.ID = "img1";
image.SkinID = "red";

myAnchor.Controls.Add(image);

}
</script>

<a href="#" runat="server" id="myAnchor"></a>

</form>
</body>
</html>
-- end aspx code --

-- begin skin file --

<asp:Image runat="server" ImageUrl="~/1.jpg" SkinID="red"/>

-- end skin file --

Skin file is put under App_Themes\Red\RedSkin.skin folder

Thanks for Milosz's input.

Hi CS,

As Milosz suggested, you can first check the page's Theme setting to see
whether the Theme has been applied to the page(in the page directive). Or
if you want to programmatically apply Theme for your web page, you can use
Page.PreInit event to do it. e.g.

void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Page.Theme = "themename";
}

Here is good article which has described creating and apply Theme for
ASP.NET 2.0 page

Please feel free to post here if you have any further questions on this.
