ajax RadMenu custom skin

[daniel liu]

Hi,

I tried to follow http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/menu_appearancecreatingacustomskin.html to create menu web control with custom skin (OutlookRed), but the skin  is not working on the web control.

here is the code for the menu web control:

<%

@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="CtrMenu.ascx.cs" Inherits="USC.Advancement.Web.CtrMenu" %>

 

<%

@ Register TagPrefix="telerik" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" %>

 

 

<link href="~/Controls/Menu/Skins/OutlookRed/Menu.OutlookRed.css"

 

 

rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

 

 

<

 

telerik:RadMenu runat="server" ID="RadMenu1" Width="100%" Skin="OutlookRed"

 

DataSourceID

 

="XmlDataSource1" OnItemDataBound="RadMenu1_ItemDataBound" EnableEmbeddedSkins="false"

 

DataTextField

 

="Text" style="z-index:2" DataNavigateUrlField="Url">

 

 

</telerik:RadMenu>

 

 

<div style="clear: both">

 

 

</div>

 

 

<

 

asp:XmlDataSource runat="server" ID="XmlDataSource1"

 

DataFile

 

="Menu.xml"

 

XPath

 

="/Menu/Item" />

 

It is working when I build custom skin on a aspx page, but not working on a menu web control.

please help.

Thanks

You'd better use the Visual Style Builder to make your custom skin and after that follow the instructions from this help article to manually register the skin.

Cheers,
