Hi Craig,

Yes, both are possible, have you tried? You have to obtain a reference to the parent control (or RadFormDecorator) and get their Skin property value. If you don't want to hard-code some control IDs when obtaining a reference, another approach is to iterate through the Controls collection of the page and search for controls which implement the ISkinnableControl interface. They all have a Skin property. However, the first approach is simpler, as you may need to iterate recursively and this is not best for the performance.

Hi Craig,

Binding expressions work only if the control is databound. If the control does not do that automatically, you should do it manually.

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>

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

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<script runat="server">

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

RadUpload1.DataBind();

}

</script>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >

<head runat="server">

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />

<title>RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX</title>

</head>

<body>

<form id="form1" runat="server">

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />

<telerik:RadFormDecorator ID="RadFormDecorator1" runat="server" Skin="Forest" />

<telerik:RadUpload ID="RadUpload1" runat="server" FocusOnLoad="True" MaxFileInputsCount="3"

ToolTip="Select Image to upload" Skin='<%# RadFormDecorator1.Skin %>'>

</telerik:RadUpload>

</form>

</body>

</html>
