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"?>
<!--

more information on how to configure your ASP.NET application, please visit

-->
<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>
