Creating Reusable Page Templates
Hello,
Have just completed Chapter 6 of the book. However, I have a little hard to understand "Creating Reusable Page Templates", so I wonder if there is any site where you can get a little deeper info on this?
Do not really know what is the point of "MyBasePage.aspx"?

Hi there,
Isn't that clear enough from the text?
The point is that after creating a page template you can choose File | Add | New Item and then choose your custom page template.
This way, you get a jump start in creating new pages where stuff you often need (a hooked up MasterPage, Content placeholders, some code in the code behind, inheriting from your custom BasePage and so on) is already in place without the need to add it every time again and again.
Hope this helps,
Imar

On that same topic Imar..., whenever I manually chose the theme (Monochrome or DarkGrey) on website level, I had to modify the web.config file to say
<Page theme ="Monochrome"> or <Page theme = "DarkGrey">. I understand this.
When it comes to dynamically setting up the theme, it's implemented by the cookie in the master page and its code behind page.
I don't understand why you don't go back to modify the web.config file? The latter file is still coded to the last chosen manual option i.e <Page theme= "DarkGrey">. I'm trying to debug my code, and I'm wondering whether this might be an issue.
Thanks!

Thanks! I just remove the "theme" all together from the <pages> (not just the styleSheetTheme) in the web.config file, and it still works great. I figure out it's working because now the theme selection is built-in the master page.

Just realize that, as I wrote in the book, you now loose Design Time support in VWD as the IDE no longer knows what theme you are using.
Cheers,
Imar
