[Solved] Not able to set Skin propert to Prometheus combo control

[Par]

I am using Prometheus menu and combobox in my web form.
I have a skin which needs to be applied to the above mentioned controls.
But when i tried to set the skin property, got the below error

Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBox with ID='ComboBox1' was unable to find embedded skin with name 'New'. Please, make sure that you spelled the skin name correctly, or if you want to use a custom skin, set EnableEmbeddedSkins=false.

Please help me to resolve this.

Hi Par,

Most probably you haven't set the EnableEmbeddedSkins property to false. For detail on the matter please refer to the control's documentation under section RadControls 'Prometheus' Fundamentals --> Controlling Visual Appearance --> Creating a custom skin.

I can't get skins to work with the combobox either. I've tried setting the path globally. I've tried a local link to the css file. Can't seem to get anything to work unless it's referencing the internal skin.
This is my code:
  <link href="styles/Combobox/Skins/Classic/Styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
</asp:ScriptManager>
      <div id="txthdr"><asp:Label ID="lblHeader" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label></div>
      <div align="right" style="position:relative;right:20px;top:5px;"><span class="redbig">Sort by:</span><br />
          <telerik:radcombobox  ID="ddSearchSort" OnSelectedIndexChanged="Sort" 
              runat="server" EnableEmbeddedSkins="False"  RadComboBoxImagePosition="Right" Skin="Classic" >
<CollapseAnimation Type="OutQuint" Duration="200"></CollapseAnimation>

<ExpandAnimation Type="OutQuart"></ExpandAnimation>
          </telerik:radcombobox>
    </div>

Thanks for any time you give this.
