[Solved] Looking for documentation for importing VisualStyleBuilder skin

[Carl]

As far as I can tell, the current documentation does not include any section providing detailed instructions for importing and using a custom skin designed, built and downloaded from the VisualStyleBuilder at stylebuilder.telerik.com.

Could you please provide these detailed instructions for how to use the custom skin with a Telerik MVC 3 Razor project?

In particular, I would also like to know whether Telerik has used any explicit naming conventions for all document elements to which css classes/ids apply so that I can avoid conflicts with my own skin for the header and footer of my web site.  In other words, I want the Telerik skin to apply only to the main body of the page or only to the Telerik controls but otherwise not to rest of the header or footer of the page.

Hello Carl,

Our CSS classes use a "t-" prefix in order to prevent conflicts. Using the custom skin is simply linking to its stylesheet, placed in the Content folder, not unlike any other stylesheet.

Is it necessary to add the stylesheet with both a <link /> tag and also to the StyleSheetRegistrar DefaultGroup? Are both of the following lines necessary?    <link href="@Url.Content("~/Content/telerik.GtgVista.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
and     @(Html.Telerik().StyleSheetRegistrar().DefaultGroup(group => group.Add("telerik.common.css").Add("telerik.GtgVista.css")))

Hi Carl,

You don't need them both. The stylesheet registrar outputs the <link /> for you (plus, if you use the stylesheet registrar you can compress and combine your CSS).

Hi Alex,
    I want to use custom skin for calendar control in razor syntax.
 Can you give me an example of how to refer class in calendar control declaration part.

Thanks,
Sushi.

Did you ever get a response on this for Razor?  I have downloaded the Metro Skin for an Asp.Net Razor MVC Project.  I have also converted the default Asp.Net MVC 3 web application to the Telerik version via the Telerik Extensions. 

1.  So how do I activate the Skin for it? 

2. Is it on the CDN telerik.metro.css?

Thanks,
Wade

Hello Wade,

The Metro skin is available only for RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax which do not support Razor because they are WebForms controls. We will introduce the Metro skin for Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC in the upcoming release.
