A WinForms tool for creating embedded custom skins to be used with RadStyleSheetManager is now available at:

Tool for Embedding Custom Skins into an Assembly

1 line method doesn't work anymore (Telerik.Web.UI.dll 2010.3.1215.40)
Only seems to work if you explicitly specify the controls

Hello Johan,

I just tested the method and it still works with v2010.3.1215.

Can you please be a bit more specific? What do you mean by explicitly specifying the controls? 

All the best,

Hi Simon,
see
Home / Community / Forums / ASP.NET AJAX > SkinManager > Does RadSkinManager work with custom (non-embedded) skins?

Currently I cannot build the project in

• RadStyleSheetManager1.zip

anymore. It is vs2008 and I get build errors (Telerik not found).
When I try to build a new rad web project I get

---------------------------

Microsoft Visual Studio

---------------------------

Error executing custom action Telerik.Web.UI.VSX.Actions.UnfoldFilesAction:

Could not find file 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Telerik\Telerik WebUI VSExtensions\2010.3.1214.0\ControlScenarios\General\TelerikEnabledWebForm\Default.aspx.t4'.

---------------------------

OK

---------------------------

After re-installing telerik components I will try to create a new project and test it and get back to you.

regards,
Johan

 

 

Okay, I'm back. I installed 2010.3.1317.40 and created a RadControls Web Application in VS2010. I created a skin TestSkin001 with the visual style builder at stylebuilder.telerik.com and created an assembly TestSkin001Assembly.dll file with WebResourceAutoBuilder and put it in the bin folder of my project. Now I have a page with a radcalendar and a radcombobox in them. Both have

Skin

 

 

="TestSkin001" EnableEmbeddedSkins="False"

 

If I register them like this:

 

 

<telerik:RadStyleSheetManager ID="RadStyleSheetManager1" runat="server">

 

 

 

<StyleSheets>

 

 

 

<telerik:StyleSheetReference Name="TestSkin001Assembly.TestSkin001.Calendar.TestSkin001.css" Assembly="TestSkin001Assembly" />

 

 

 

<telerik:StyleSheetReference Name="TestSkin001Assembly.TestSkin001.ComboBox.TestSkin001.css" Assembly="TestSkin001Assembly" />

 

 

 

</StyleSheets>

 

 

 

</telerik:RadStyleSheetManager>

 

this works fine,

but if I register with a single line, like this:

 

 

<telerik:RadStyleSheetManager ID="RadStyleSheetManager1" runat="server">

 

 

 

<StyleSheets>

 

 

 

<telerik:StyleSheetReference Name="TestSkin001Assembly.TestSkin001.css" Assembly="TestSkin001Assembly" />

 

 

 

</StyleSheets>

 

 

 

</telerik:RadStyleSheetManager>

 

this does not work. What is wrong?

If you want I can send you the project but need an email address or upload fascility.

regards,
Johan

Hello Johan,

Perhaps the generic .css file does not exist in the assembly. Can you verify with FireBug or Fiddler whether the Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd response is OK?

In any case, a sample project showing this issue will help me find the cause of the issue easier. Please send a project via a support ticket (and also mention this Code Library project).

Great tool! Easily converted Bryan's project to VS2010.
I actually downloaded several zip files from VisualStyleBuilder, modified them and zipped them all back up together.
Only problem I had was I noticed some WebResource 404 errors and images were not coming up.

Turns out the Menu skin generated from VisualStyleBuilder contained css with WebResources in it which caused an error when I used Bryan's project.

So if you are getting 404 errors or missing styelsheets/images then make sure to search your downloaded css files for content like:


and replace with something like:


Then zip it all back up and use Bryan's tool to embed your files into a dll.

Downloaded the .zip, unzipped and built the project (I have both VS2008 and VS2010 on my laptop). I cannot find the Telerik.Charting.dll and Telerik.Charting.xml files. When I run the project I figured I would get a complaint about the Charting dll and not:

 

Server Error in '/' Application.

Could not load file or assembly 'Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2008.1.515.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

OK. So what am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Hi Douglas,

Thank you for letting us know about the issue.

There is a hard-coded version of the Telerik.Web.UI assembly in the web.config of the project. This triggers the error when you deploy another version.

I modified the project so that this specific reference is more general. Please download it again to get the updated version.

Best wishes,

Hello Simon,

                        I have created the Separate Class library and added the css/Images. When I have built this class library and added the .dll with my project file. My project is loaded I am not able to apply the css which is availablbe in the class library.

From the master page I have created a child page, for that child page I am not able to apply the .css and the images are also not loaded in the specific child page.

Here is the code in Master page:-

<telerik:RadStyleSheetManager ID="RadStyleSheetManager1" runat="server">

        <StyleSheets>

<telerik:StyleSheetReference Name="NispCSSAssembly.Button.Default.css"

                Assembly="NispCSSAssembly"></telerik:StyleSheetReference>

</StyleSheets>

</telerik:RadStyleSheetManager>

 

 

The code of .css image reference:-

 

background-image:url('<%=WebResource("NispCSSAssembly.Button.ButtonSprites.gif")%>');

 

Please help me out in this issue.

Subbu

Hi Sarulatha,

Please submit your query via the support ticketing system because we will need a sample project to help you resolve the problem you are facing. This thread discusses the Code Library Project itself - the solution and code.
