ASP.NET 4 Unleashed

Applying Skins Dynamically

You can apply skins dynamically to particular controls in a page. In the Page PreInit event, you can modify a control’s SkinID property programmatically.

For example, the page in Listing 6.20 enables a user to select a favorite skin for a GridView control. The GridView control displays a list of movies (see Figure 6.9).
