Creating single theme XML file Q1 2010

[Prakash P]

Hi Team,

       I have following problem please help me in doing that,

Problem Desc:

    Actaully we used Q3 2009 RadControls for winforms. recently we have upgraded to Q1 2010 RadControls for winform. 
In Q3 2009 version we had customized Themes in XML file. I need to create the customized theme in single xml file in Q1 2010 too.
I tried in visual style builder but it's creating single file for each and every control. i need to a single xml file which should have all controls themes inside it. how to do that     
    
Thanks In Advance

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your kindly reply 

But still i want to create all control's style in single xml file only. Is there any option for that through which i can create all control's style in single xml file not as a package.

Hello Prakash P,

Thanks for writing back.

In this case you should copy all existing XmlStyleBuilderRegistration blocks from the different XML files (and their content) into one single file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<XmlTheme xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" ThemeName="ControlDefault,*" ThemeVersion="2.0">

  <BuilderRegistrations>

    <!--here come all XmlStyleBuilderRegistrations from your files-->

  </BuilderRegistrations>
   <StyleRepository>
      <!--here comes the theme's style repository-->
   </StyleRepository>

</XmlTheme>

Please note that this will significantly decrease the performance of your application since the XML file will become very large.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Deyan
