Skin vs SkinID

[Stuart Hemming]

What, if anything, is the SkinID property used for?

Hello Stuart,

SkinID is not directly related to RadControls. The property is inherited by the WebControl class and is related to ASP.NET themes.

So, ordinarily, an ASP control would have this value set if using an ASP Theme, yes? I've encountered some internal documentation that suggest, for example, creating code like this...

<telerik:RadComboBox runat="server" Skin="WebBlue" SkinId="rad_dropdown" />

This is just wrong then, yes?

Yes, using SkinIDs makes sense only if the given control is configured by settings in an ASP.NET theme, which contains the same SkinID.

If you tell us where the provided code snippet is, we will review and correct it, if necessary.
