Hello Arul S V,

The latest version of Visual Style Builder actually includes an option that allows you to save several XML files as a single package (see attached screenshot). Once doing so, you can easily load this package into you application using the ThemeResolutionService.

ThemeResolutionService.LoadPackageFile("Desert.tssp");
ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName = "Desert";

Thanks for your reply.

Customer wants in the xml file format. Where they can edit the theme without VSB.

Any way i wrote a piece of code which will be converting all my xml theme files into a single xml theme file.

Format:-

 

 

 

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<XmlTheme xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" ThemeName="AliasDesert" ThemeVersion="2.0"> 

<StyleRepository>
 <RepositoryItems>
 </RepositoryItems>
</StyleRepository>
<BuilderRegistrations>
 <XmlStyleBuilderRegistration> RadTextBox
 </XmlStyleBuilderRegistration>
 <XmlStyleBuilderRegistration> RadButton
 </XmlStyleBuilderRegistration>
</BuilderRegistrations>
</XmlTheme> 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks.
