Setting default skin using web.config

[Piyush Bhatt]

I am trying to set default skin using Web.config - all documentation says is to use [ShortProductName] but no example shows what is the 'ShortProductName' (whether it is with namespace or without).

I am using it as below:
    <add key="Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBox.Skin" value="Vista"/>
Above does not work.

    <add key="Telerik.RadComboBox.Skin" value="Vista"/>
This does not work either.

The only thing that works is:
    <add key="Telerik.Skin" value="Vista"/>

But this overrides everything in the site contrary to the documentation about EnableEmbeddedScript/EnableEmbeddedSkin - that says that page level overrides > control level in web.config overrides > global setting in web.config.

How should I configure web.config now? so that I have one default skin and then some specific skins for some controls?

Thanks,
Piyush

Hi,

Is this issue resolved? If yes, it which  version of RADControls for ASP.NET AJAX?

Any example/sample code will be helpful.

Hi parimal,

The Q1 2008 SP2 release of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX is already a fact and you can download it from your Client.NET account -> My Licenses -> My Purchases section. Follow the upgrade instructions from this KB article and let us know whether everything functions normally after the update.

Hi,

<add key="Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBox.Skin" value="Vista"/>
in appsettings section of web.config file.

It did not work.

Is this fixed? If my code is incorrect please let me know the correct code for the same.

Hi I was wondering if this method also works for custom skins or only for built-in skins.

Thanks,

Hello Bharani,

This method will work for custom skins. However you should manually register the skin CSS file. Check this help topic for additional information.

  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.5"/>
    <pages styleSheetTheme="basic" theme="basic" />
  </system.web>

Create a ASP.NET themes folder in your web project called anything you liked. I called mine basic. All styles sheets, and skin files in this theme folder called basic will be automatic applied to all aspx pages

To add the theme folder go to Visual Studio menu system.  Website > Add ASP.NET folder > Theme.

In solution explorer window name the folder
