dynamic themes on the fly

I have a C# web app ... just playing around with master pages, themes
and skins.
I have read Scott's article:
http://odetocode.com/Blogs/scott/arc...2/09/2604.aspx

Still not really clear for me.

How can I apply a theme for a master page design app other than static
in web config:

<system.web>
<pages theme="trucknew s" />
</system.web>

I need to make sure all the website pages will get the theme I specify.
So it's about using PreInit event which a master page doesn't have it
and which is the good way of setting a theme dynamically.

Am I right saying that one cannot actually apply a theme to a master
page but to every page using that master page one by one ???? If so, we
should have a base class which will implement the PreInit event and all
the pages will inherit that page so we dont need to write the PreInit
event on each one of these pages. If I am right so far ... who knows
.... back to my initial question how could I set the theme dynamic ?

I mean ok, I have a base class B and all my pages inherit B. The B
class is implementing PreInit event where I specify the theme but isn't
this static also?

Forgive my confusion. Thanks.

Hey again! In my quest to make proper use of OO PHP I would like to ask for a critique of the current method of doing themes in the Camera Life (http://fdcl.sf.net) software and see if an OO approach is more appropriate. This program consists of multiple PHP pages that include a common.php file. My motivation is to make making themes easier, so we can get more theme contributors! Themes consist of image files, a css file and a PHP...

I'm reading up on Themes and Master Pages in ASP.NET 2.0 but I cannot seem to understand what the difference between the two are. Do Master Pages essentially end up doing what Themes do? Is Themes an older part of the .NET architecutre and simply included for backward compatibility or are Themes and Master Pages two different things meant to compliment each other? Can someone give me some insight please.

My experience now working with master pages on and off for 6 months is that they can be very dangerous when working with themes. One example in particular is the changes I made to my banner menu which now work just fine with all my themes on my development machine but on my production server my non-standard themes are showing effects that are no longer in place even with a complete re-copy of my project. Problems like this with...

Hi, I was going to ask a question, but I think I've answered it so now I am going to rant about how crappy ASP.NET themes are instead. As I've indicated above, my problem today is with themes. Per microsoft "Only one theme can be applied to each page. You cannot apply multiple themes to a page, unlike style sheets where multiple style sheets can be applied."

Hi. I am having trouble grasping the concept of applying a consistent theme to an ASP.net website. I didn't used to like ASP because it was too hard to apply a theme from a common theme folder like I could do easily in PHP, but now I see that it has some nicer theming features and master files. So I want to use web.config to switch which theme I'm using, and I want to be able to have several themes. My understanding of themes is that I...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
