Common Look and Feel Across Entire Application

[johnv]

Hey Community,

I need to lock down my grids look and feel across my entire application. I was wondering if there was a configuration I can define for the site that makes all my grids behave the same way. Sort of like using the Skin in the web.config.

Can I set any grid properties in the web.config?

For instance:

• Skin="Transparent" - Yes, I know I can do this...
• EnableViewState="false"
• AllowPaging="true"
• PageSize="18"
• etc...

I mean it would really be nice to enable row hover, dbl-click, and other advanced features once so it guarantees a common look and feel everywhere, but could be overridden if defined in the grid markup, or programmaticly.

Thanks.

John

Hello John,

You could try using a StyleSheetTheme for the grids in your page. It generally works the same way as a Theme but its settings can be overwritten in markup:
