[Solved] RadSkinManager programmically

[Zach]

Hello, I am trying to add a RadSkinManager to my page programmically (using a BasePage that is inherited by all my web forms - master page isn't necessary or preferred for this project). For whatever reason, it is getting ignored. Below is my code (ScriptManager and RadFormDecorator work perfectly): Thanks for any help!

                //add a script manager to page form
                ScriptManager smMain = new ScriptManager();
                smMain.ID = "smMain";
                Page.Form.Controls.AddAt(0, smMain);

                //add a RadSkinManager to page form (used for RadControls themeing)
                RadSkinManager skmSkin = new RadSkinManager();
                skmSkin.ID = "skmSkin";
                skmSkin.Skin = "Forest"; //actual value read from web.config
                Page.Form.Controls.AddAt(1, skmSkin);

                //add a RADFormDecorator to page form (used for non-RadControls controls theming)
                RadFormDecorator tfdMain = new RadFormDecorator();
                tfdMain.ID = "rfdMain";
                tfdMain.Skin = "Forest"; //actual value read from web.config
                tfdMain.ControlsToSkip = FormDecoratorDecoratedControls.None;
                tfdMain.DecoratedControls = FormDecoratorDecoratedControls.All;
                Page.Form.Controls.AddAt(2, tfdMain);

Hello Zach,

When are you adding the SkinManager to the form? In order this to work you should add it on the Page_Init handler. Try it out and let me know if this helps.

Thanks, that worked. I was using the PreLoad handler since using the OnPreInit handler caused it to error out. I never thought of using OnInit, which happens a little later.

Thanks,
