Using Theme in ASP.NET, Web Forms, How to use Theme in ASP.NET, Web Forms and Themes in Web Configuration File: Part 6

Introduction

We have lots of choices to work with Themes management. Rather than add the Theme or StyleSheetTheme attribute to each and every page to which we want to apply a Theme, we can register a Theme for all pages in your application in the web configuration file.
The Web.Config file given below applies the Site Theme to every page in an application.

Web.config Code

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<
configuration>
       <
system.web>
              <
compilation debug="true" strict="false" explicit="true"targetFramework="4.0"/>
    <pages theme="Simple" />
    <!--
or
    <pages styleSheetTheme="Simple" />
    
-->
  </
system.web>
</
configuration>

In above configuration file I have used <page theme="Simple" />, we also can use <pages styleSheetTheme="Simple" />. This tag helps to apply the theme in entire pages. The code given below has even no <%@ Page Language="VB" Theme="Simple" %> underlined tag but theme will work that is only because of configuration settings.

Default.aspx Code

<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false"CodeFile="Default.aspx.vb" 
Inherits="_Default" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<
head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</
head>
<
body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
    <asp:Calendar
        id="Calendar1"
        Runat="server" />
    </div>
    </form>
</
body>
</
html>

The page given below has the EnableTheming="false" in head declaration so this page will not use the configuration theme settings.

Default2.aspx Code

<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Default2.aspx.vb" 
Inherits="Default2"EnableTheming="false"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<
head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</
head>
<
body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
    <asp:Calendar
        id="Calendar1"
        Runat="server" />
    </div>
    </form>
</
body>
</
html>
