Question about the difference between RadFormDecorator and RadSkinManager

[Noha]

Hi All

I am a little bit confused about the difference between RadFormDecorator and RadSkinManager ?

The main functionality of both of them is to apply a skin to other ASP.NET and Rad Controls on the page.

So, What is the difference ?!

Regards

Thanks all my confusion is solved.

RadSkinManager applies skin only for RadControls.

RadFormDecorator applies skin only for Standard ASP.NET controls like Button, Checkbox, Radiobutton and Scrollbar.

but I have another question

RadSkinManage has a property to identify the target controls that i want to apply skin on them.

but for RadFormDecorator, What is the property to identify target control of standard ASP.NET controls ???!!

Hi Noha,

You can use RadFormDecorator's DecoratedControls or ControlsToSkip properties. You can find more about them in the following help article:

An online example which illustrates how to configure RadFormDecorator is available here:
