I want to dynamically set my site's theme based on a setting stored in my
database.
I just hooked this up but get an error that the theme can only be set in the
page's PreInit event or earlier. However, it appears that Master pages do
not have PreInit events.
I REALLY do not want to have to stick the same code in each and every page I
create. How are you folks dynamically setting themes from master pages?
Thanks.

You could make every page inherit from a base class with the code you want
in the pre init event.

Why don't you just set it in the web.config, for the whole site?

Check out K. Scott Allen's great articles with good sample code : http://odetocode.com/Blogs/scott/arc...2/09/2604.aspx http://www.odetocode.com/Articles/450.aspx
Rick Strahl has an alternate method : http://www.west-wind.com/WebLog/posts/4899.aspx
Also, you could set the global theme in web.config:
<configuratio n>
<system.web>
<pages theme="ThemeNam e" />
</system.web>
</configuration>

It's a reasonable suggestion, but would still require that I go back and
modify each and every page created so far. I'll leave this as second choice
but am looking into more of a global handler approach if possible.

There is no work-around in this context Jonathan. We MUST use a base class
that each page inherits from.

Actually... that's not quite true. In fact, I was able to implement my own
IHttpModule class that handles themes for all pages globally, without
needing to modify each page.

I may be missing something, but why aren't master pages part of themes?
i.e. why don't they go in the App_Themes or global Themes directory, and be
referenced just by name (not full path) in the declaration for a page?
That way, you can change the complete layout by just applying the theme to a
page or a whole site.
I know that if your master pages are XHTML, then you can change the layout
significantly with CSS, but there are...

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.

Hi,
I have created two themes in our application. Trying to apply themes
on fly to the entire application(all pages..) .
1. In web.config file mentioned <pages theme="theme1" />, It is
applying for the entire site.
2. In each Page, PreInit event menthod if I mention
Page.Theme = Profile.MyTheme;
It is applying the theme to which ever pages, I have declared
PreInit method with above code.

multiple themes to a page, unlike style sheets where multiple style
