Chapter 2, 'Try it out', page 36:
Step 5 says: "Switch back to Design View to set the style sheet. At the top of the Properties box, drop down the list of controls and select Document. At the bottom of the properties list, find Style Sheet (see Figure 2-5), click its ellipses, and browse to site.css. Click OK."

Problem: I don't get a 'Stylesheet' property option!? Only 'Title'. What could I be doing wrong?

It didn't work for me either. I looked up help within VWD and it said to "drag" the .css file ontop of the form in design view. This worked for me and created a link in source view.

I don't have the book, so I can only guess where you're instructed to add the style sheet.

However, for a Master Page the Document does have a Style Sheet property which is available in both Design View and Code View when you're editing a Master Page. Are you sure you selected Document from the Properties drop-down and not say, the <div> tag?

I could be completely mistaken as to where you're supposed to add the style tag, but for a Master Page you should be able to do it.

While typing this post, I was listening to: English Summer Rain by Placebo (Track 2 from the album: Sleeping with Ghosts) What's This?

I also having problem on page 36 of book ASP 2.0 NET with C#.

I have drag style sheet onto design view, and still no "Document" property of StyleSheet to set, any other suggestions?

Hi there,

Like I said, I don't have the book, so I am not exactly sure what you're supposed to do. Can you take a look at my previous reply and provide more information?

Want to be my colleague? Then check out this post.

After creating a Master Page site.master step 5 on page 36
states the following:

5. Switch back to Design View to set the style sheet. At the top of the Properties box, drop down the list of controls and select Document. Set the Debug property to True. At the bottom of the properties list, find StyleSheet (see Figure 2-5), click its ellipses, and browse to site.css. Click Ok.

The problems is under Document there is no property called StyleSheet. The book shows the property is part of Document properties under [-] Document.

The goal of the exercise is to add a style sheet to the document right? If that's the case, you can simply work around it by dragging the CSS file from the Solution Explorer onto the page.

Can't offer any other advice as I don't know what the main purpose of the exercise is.

Hope this helps,

Imar
