style tag in content page

[David C]

I am acclimating to ASP.NET 2.0, so excuse me not using the proper
terminology.

When I say a content page, I meant, a page that has a MasterPageFile
tag in the Page directives. So is that a slave page?

I am noticing that on that page, there is no place to put a style
tag. From what I understand what the master page does, it makes sense
since the master page has the header tag which includes all the link
tags for style sheets.

That much I understand.

But I want to be able to experiment with some CSS locally before
pushing this to the master page. But since the page does not like to
see a style tag anywhere on the page, how would you go about doing
this?

OK.

No, it's a content page.

But I want to be able to experiment with some CSS locally before

this?

You would do that in the code behind your content page, probably in the
Page_Load method.

HtmlLink objLink = new HtmlLink();
objLink.Href = "MyStylesheet.css"
objLink.Attributes.Add("rel", "stylesheet")
objLink.Attributes.Add("type", "text/css")
Header.Controls.Add(objLink);

You can add styles to the page with the
Page.Header.StyleSheet.CreateStyleRule method.

Example from MSDN Library:

// Create a Style object for the <BODYsection of the Web page.
Style bodyStyle = new Style();

bodyStyle.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;
bodyStyle.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightGray;

// Add the style to the header of the current page.
Page.Header.StyleSheet.CreateStyleRule(bodyStyle, this, "BODY");
