Default Chapter 15 - p535 - Try It Out problem

Hello,

I have worked through the Try It Out starting on page 535. When I open the Genres.aspx in the browser there is no styles applied to the list, it's just black and white :(

There is no build errors although I have a blue line under first line of the GridView.skin file which I think may be causing the problem - "C:\BegASPNET\Site\App_Themes\Management\GridView.s kin:ASP.NET runtime error: There is no build provider registered for the extension '.skin'. You can register one in the <compilation><buildProviders> section in the machine.config or web.config. Make sure is has a BuildProviderAppliesToAttribute attribute which includes the value 'Web' or 'All'".

Any ideas...?

Thank you in advance!

Hi there,

For the error, take a look at "Creating a Skin File" on page 233/234. You can safely ignore it.

For the design problem: check the final HTML in the browser, Do you see a link to the right theme's CSS? An where did you define the skins?

Doh, got it!

For some reason I had a copy of the web.config file in the App_Themes and was using that instead of the web.config file from the Management folder.

Thanks for your reply Imar!
