Hi , this may sound stupid but I thought I had finally managed to get past chapters 5/6 in Vb 4.5 but alas no. Skins? I am following the instructions but when I add the skinsdemo in the demos folder <asp:Content ID="content2" contentPlaceHolderID="cpMaincontent is missing am I doing something wrong? and the Css highlights the footer with a blue background and white text. sorry for any trouble

Hi there,

Did you create the custom template correctly? Or are you creating a new plain Web Form?

Can you post the code for your Master Page? Maybe that file has an issue?

Cheers,

Imar

Hi Imar
I have gone over the chapter and found some I missed, but its creating the skinsdemo in the demo folder that is causing the problem the page doesnot look like the one you created with the code where am I going wrong.
Below is the code I get when I create the form. It looks nothing like yours

Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="SkinsDemo.aspx.vb" Inherits="Demos_SkinsDemo" %>

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>

</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Hi there,

It looks like you missed the following sentence from step 4 when creating SkinsDemo.aspx:

"Make sure you base it on the exported MyBasePage template you created earlier."

The SkinsDemo is designed to be based on the custom template.

Hope this helps,

Imar
