Created New Assembly Now What?

[bradley baker]

I created a new style with the builder and ran it thru the assembly builder so now I have a Folder with the Images/CSS and a dll file.  Where do I put these files now?  App_Code?

Hello Bradley,

In cause you have created a custom embedded skin by using this tool:

http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/style-builder/tool-for-embedding-custom-skins-into-an-assembly.aspx

...or by using this application:

http://www.telerik.com/community/code-library/aspnet-ajax/general/including-custom-stylesheets-as-webresources-to-radstylesheetmanager.aspx

... then you should place the DLL file in the BIN folder of your website and register the skins with RadStyleSheetManager, as demonstrated in the second link above. You will not need the non-embedded CSS files and images in the website.

Hi Dimo,

                     In my project i have also created a seperate class library name "NISPCSSASSEMBLY" and added the images,.css,.skin files. I have added the this "NISPCSSASSEMBLY.dll" to the project folder and using the below code i am able to access the images.

Default master code snippet:-
-------------------------------------

<

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

 <StyleSheets>

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

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

 </StyleSheets>

 </telerik:RadStyleSheetManager>

 
In Default master page we have to setup an imageurl, this absolutely points only to the current project location "~/App_Themes/Default/Images/loading.gif". Since we have moved the image in the seperate project location, How do we need to refer the image thruogh  Embeded assembly.

Below is the sample code from Default master.Aspx:-
-----------------------------------------------------------------
<telerik:RadAjaxLoadingPanel ID="radAjaxLoadingPanelCenter" runat="server" IsSticky="true">

<asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" AlternateText="Loading..." ImageUrl="~/App_Themes/Default/Images/loading.gif" >

</asp:Image>

</telerik:RadAjaxLoadingPanel>

please advice..

Hi Subbu,

To access the web resource, the following code:

<asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" AlternateText="Loading..." ImageUrl="~/App_Themes/Default/Images/loading.gif" >
</asp:Image>

Should be changed to:

<asp:Image ID="Image2" runat="server" AlternateText="Loading..." ImageUrl='<%=ClientScript.GetWebResource(typeof(BaselineResourceNames),"App_Themes.Default.Images.loading.gif")%>' >

More info about accessing  WebRsources you could find at: ClientScriptManager.GetWebResourceUrl Method and ASP.NET forums Using Web Resources.

Kind regards,

Hi Bozhidar,

                  I have changed the code as shown below:

<asp:Image ID="Image2" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%=ClientScript.GetWebResource(typeof(BaselineResourceNames),"NispCSSAssembly.Images.Loading.gif")%>' />

But still i am not able to load the image.

Do we need to refer any piece of code in Web.config file to access the images.

Below are the changes i have done in my project:-

1) Added the seperate class library NispCSSAssembly.
2)Added the .css files and Images in the respective folder. [Note:i Have not used the AppThemes folder]
3)Right clicked the .css and Image file properties Build action -> Embedded resource.
4)Added the TelerikSkin.cs file.
 Below is the code added :-
 [assembly: WebResource("NispCSSAssembly.Default.css", "text/css", PerformSubstitution = true)]

 [assembly: WebResource("NispCSSAssembly.Images.loading.gif", "image/gif")]

 

5) Added the <telerik:RadStyleSheetManager> reference in DefaultMaster page and trying to refer the image through Embedded assembely.

Correct me if i am wrong with the above steps followed.

Kind Regards,
Subbu

Hi Dimo,
                       We are using the TelerikRadGrid conrol in most of the .aspx pages. We have created a global skin file named "Default.skin" where we have created a Structure of the grid with default properties.

Please find the below code :-

<

telerik:radgrid Width="98%" SkinID="RadGrid" runat="server" allowpaging="true" allowsorting="true"

 allowfilteringbycolumn="true" autogeneratecolumns="False" enablelinqexpressions="False"

 gridlines="None" pagesize="10" allowautomaticinserts="false" allowautomaticupdates="false"

 allowautomaticdeletes="false" allowrowselection="true" >  

 

</telerik:radgrid>

By using the SkinID="RadGrid", we have accessed in the .aspx pages to apply the default properies for a RadGrid control.

.aspx code:-

<

telerik:RadGrid ID="radGridsample" runat="server" SkinID="RadGrid" DataSourceID="objContGridClients"

</telerik:RadGrid>

I am not able to apply the default properties specified in the Skin file to the RadGridControl, while i am trying to access through Embedded assembely.

Please advice..

Hello Subbu,

I would like to let you know that both your questions from your last two messages are posted in a wrong forum. This a thread related to the Visual Style Builder and how to create a new custom skin with that tool , but not how to configure it. Note that it was start two and a half years ago. The reasons to put the question in the right forum in that threads is to help other users that will font that topic to get the proper information without the necessity to start a new one.

As we already answered here to your first question about the WebResource, we will do it again.

As i could see form the description of your steps, everything seems to be done correctly. Probably you do not see the image, because you set a wrong path. Check it once again to find if this is wrong or not. If you think it is the correct one, but still do not see it on the page, I will ask you send us a simple sample running project with all files related to the issue, so we could test it further.

So, about your second question about RadGird and Default skin, I will ask you to open a new support ticket and to mark that question is for RadGrid control. That will help us track easier the problem and will not confuse other customers that are expecting to find something useful in that thread about Visual Style Builder.

All the best,
Bozhidar
