Ch 13: page 445 - Themes = ''

>> You'd think I would know this - but how do I attach my zip file here?

You can't. Just like with the images, you need to find an online resource, upload it there and link to it here.

Cheers,

Okay, let's see if this works:

Oh, now I see. I think I asked for pretty much every file in your site, except for the one with the problem. Take a look at your main web.config:

Code:

<system.web>
  ...
  <pages theme="MainTheme" styleSheetTheme="MainTheme">
    <controls>
      <add tagPrefix="Wrox" tagName="Banner" src="~/Controls/Banner.ascx" />
  ...
</system.web>

You're setting the theme as well as the styleSheetTheme. This means that resetting only the theme to an empty string still links your MainTheme as part of the Style Sheet theme. The fix is to clear both:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
    <system.web>
      <pages theme="" styleSheetTheme="" />
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Hope this helps,

I thought for sure that was going to work, but it didn't, sorry.

I even closed out and came back in. But I still have the image as a background on my <nav> element.
Well, actually - it works in my browser, but the design view shows the theme (image).

Very odd. Is that the typical behavior (work in browser, show theme in design view?)

Here's what I have in the config file for Management folder now:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
    <system.web>
      <pages theme="" styleSheetTheme=""/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Yeah, that may be by design. At run-time, ASP.NET looks at the web.config in each folder and applies (or resets) the theme accordingly. Looks like Visual Studio only looks at the root web.config...
