[Solved] GetWebResourceUrl and Office2010 skins

[James Stuart]

Has anybody been able to extract images from the new office 2010 themes as in the example below.

Many thanks
James

// Works
<img src='<%= Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(grid.GetType(), "Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.Black.Grid.AddRecord.gif") %>' />

// Doesn't work
<img src='<%= Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(grid.GetType(), "Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.Office2010Black.Grid.AddRecord.gif") %>' />

Hi James,

The difference between the Black and the Office2010Black Skin is that Black is embedded in the Telerik.Web.UI assembly where as the Office2010Black Skin is in the Telerik.Web.UI.Skins assembly. That is why you cannot get the resources for it the way you did. Though you can try the below approach:

<img src='<%# Telerik.Web.SkinRegistrar.GetWebResourceUrl(Page,typeof(RadGrid), "Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.Office2010Black.Grid.AddRecord.gif") %>' />

Note that if the image is outside bound control, you need to call DataBind() for the page.

Additionally, I suggest that you use this approach for getting resources for each of the Skins. Because since Q3 2011 all Skins will be moved to the Telerik.Web.UI.Skins assembly.

Kind regards,
