themes and skins in ASP.NET 2.0

[Quynh]

Hi,

I have a question regarding themes and skins in ASP.NET 2.0.
Since I have images in the application menu bar and since the menu bar is
defined in the web.sitemap file, how could I apply a theme (SkinID) to
modify the images ?

Thanks

One way is to use <asp:Image SkinID="xyz">, where SkinID maps to a
skin with the specific image you want, i.e in the skin file:

<asp:Image runat="server" SkinID="xyz" ImageUrl="Image.png">

I have some tips like this in an article:

But how can I do it within the web.sitemap file?

Thanks

I'm sorry, I'm not undertanding how the web.sitemap file plays into
this. Do you put imageUrls in the sitemap, perhaps?

Hi,

I have a menu defined as you can see below in the web.sitemap file where
there is an image beside each title.

<siteMapNode title="Edit" url="~/Edit.aspx" >

<siteMapNode title="House" url="~/house.aspx"
image="~/images/house.gif" />

<siteMapNode title="Garden" url="~/garden.aspx"
image="~/images/garden.gif" >

</siteMapNode>

Thanks

Ah, the ~ will have to be processed by ASP.NET. You should be able to
bind url to an asp:Image, or else call Page.ResolveUrl on the string.
