Hi Telerik:

I am using Q2 and Q3  2007 ASP.NET. I  am going to migrate the application to Q1 ASP.NET AJAX.

I customized  all the skins (For most of the components)  using a folder called "RadControls" in the root of the application.

But now  this folder isn't necessary (I guess so), because component catch the skin without this folder in the root. So I am guessing again, i think the folder has been compiled in the dll .Correct me  if i am wrong.

So now I want to customize again the skins but  i don't know where i can do it.

Do you know where ????

Thank you.Pepito

Hi Pepito,

In our ASP.NET AJAX suite, scripts and skins are embedded into dll's. To modify skins you have to do the following:
1.Set the EnableEmbeddedSkins property to false.
2.Copy the necessary skin files in your project folder.
3. Register the skins files on your page's head tag.

Please refer to the following help topic for more details: Modifying built-in skins

Hope this helps.

So basically.

So I must disable  EnableEmbeddedSkins  for all components and I must add the following code in web.config :

<

appSettings>

    <

add key="Telerik.Skin" value="Web20"/>

</

appSettings>


But the  problem is  i have all the skins in a root folder called "RadControls" like that: 

Project. 
     App_Data
     Bin
     Default1.aspx
     Default2.aspx
     RadControl
          Ajax
               script
               skins
          Calendar
               script
               skins
          Combobox
               script
               skins

I don't know how i cant link this address in :
<add key="Telerik.Skin" value="Web20"/>

Can you help me ???

Hello Pepito,

When using RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX with custom skins, you need to register the required CSS files manually with <link> or <style> tags in the <head> section of all pages.

You can achieve that more easily by using an ASP.NET theme, a MasterPage or a user control, which outputs all tags.

Let us know if you need further advice.

All the best,
