Applying styles to GridView control in external CSS
Alright, I've looked everywhere but I still can't seem to find a simple explanation of how to apply styles to a GridView control.
I just need to know the attributes of a GridView control that can be customized.
For example, I already figured out that I can customize the "caption" attribute: my GridView control has 'CssClass = "thisClass"' and my stylesheet has '.thisClass caption { color:Blue: }'
I need to get the names of the attributes of the GridView control such that I can eliminate the border and apply other formatting styles. Thanks a bunch in advance.

Haven't played with this too much just yet.
But I think if you bring up your page in design view and select your GridView, then review your Properties using the F4 key, you will see various styling elements. You should see the BorderStyle property and you can set it to none. Then if you scroll further down you'll see a bunch of styles under a Styles grouping that you can expand and set properties on.
Once you do this, you can see your settings in the HTML view. Here's where it gets a little tricky.
You'll see something like this:
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" Font-Names="Arial" Font-Size="Small" BackColor="LimeGreen" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="CustomerID" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" BorderStyle="None" BorderColor="Blue">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="CustomerID" HeaderText="CustomerID" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="CustomerID" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="CompanyName" HeaderText="CompanyName" SortExpression="CompanyName" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="ContactName" HeaderText="ContactName" SortExpression="ContactName" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="ContactTitle" HeaderText="ContactTitle" SortExpression="ContactTitle" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
Copy that block of code. And do a Ctrl-N to create a new Skin file. You'll see some notes to help you along creating a skin. I think it should look something like the above code but you delete some stuff. It'll end up looking something like this:
<asp:GridView runat="server"
Font-Names="Arial"
Font-Size="Small"
BackColor="LimeGreen"
BorderStyle="None"
BorderColor="Blue">
</asp:GridView>
Paste it into the skin file.
Note: you can put other entries for other types of server controls in this file too. And any controls on a page that uses this skin would following the attribute settings according to the skin.
You save your skin. And then you go back to the properties sheet for the Document and set the Theme to the skin that you just created.
You'll see the StyleSheetTheme and Theme on the Document Properties. They're very similar. Here's a good read on the precedence: http://www.asp.net/QuickStart/aspnet/doc/themes/stylesheettheme.aspx#precedence
Now, technically, the "pretty settings" that you set at the GridView level for GridView1 is no longer necessary, you could go to the HTML view and delete any attributes that you have set for GridView1. The setttings from the Skin file/Theme would take effect.
Usually, you beautify server controls using Skins and any regular HTML or Div attributes should be set via the CSS file.
You can drop the CSS file inside your app_themes/skin folder. So that CSS file will take effect whenever a page has the StyleSheetTheme/Theme set to a Skin. You wouldn't need to set the StyleSheet property, at least I don't think. I tested it once before, but I might remember wrong.
I think this should clarify everything for you. Let me know how it goes.
