Stylesheets on web user controls

[Larry]

If I put a web control within a web user control, and
this web control depends on a CSS for some settings, then
do I simply embed a
<LINK href="style.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
statement within the *.ascx file? I ask because doing so
doesn't seem to work and I want to know if there is some
trick.
Thanks

Hi Larry,

Thanks for posting in this group.
The style sheet will apply its style on the client html tag, while not the
server side webcontrol.
So you should write your .css file and apply it on the html tag that
generated by the webcontrol.

I think you can do like this(Apply css on asp:HyperLink webcontrol, so you
need apply css on <a> html tag):
First, create a asp.net webform application. Then, add a new item: Style
sheet(.css) and Web User Control(.ascx) to the project.
..css file content:
A
{
cursor:wait;
text-decoration: underline;
}

Add a HyperLink webcontrol in the .ascx, then drag the .css file in
"solution explore" to the designer of Web user control.
In the html view of .ascx, you will see that <LINK href="StyleSheet1.css"
type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"> is added to the user control.

At last, drop .ascx to the .aspx webform, view it. You will see the
stylesheet takes effect.

Hope this helps,
