CSS not accessable from content page when Master Page and Content Pages are in different folder.
I can't seem to find a solution to this problem. I have a master page and content pages and a CSS file all in the root folder. I have created a sub folder called News and have added a content page that references the master page in the root directory with the following: MasterPageFile="~/Default.master".
The issue is that the page in the News folder is not picking up the CSS styles from the master page. Has anybody else ran into a problem like this and was able to find a solution?
Any help would be greatly appreciated?
Thanks,
Neeraj

If you want a consistent theme to apply throughout the entire Web site or Web application, I would suggest placing your CSS files within the folder, App_Themes and within a sub folder. Label the folder any name you wish. That is the most rudimentary basics for creating an asp.net Theme. Place the following line of code into your web.config file: <pages theme="Insert Name of Theme Folder">. More explicit example:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<pages theme="MainTheme">
</system.web>
</configuration>You could also place the Theme reference within your Master Page directive, e.g. Theme="MainTheme" You may want to consider the first method if you ever want to specify a separate theme for any individual page by specifying a theme within the individual page directive.
Themes, skins and styles are very versatile in .NET and they can get confusing at times.

that It would be better if you create a App_Themes Folder!
how to do this?
in your explorer scroll up to the "world icon" where the directory of the project is shown
at this item click right and chose " ad asp net folder"
then you have to select "Design"
now ther should exist a "App_Themes" folder
and a subfolder, if not u can create it, name it whatever suites u well
then copy your .css file to this folder
now ad the "StylessheetTheme" tag to your page-event
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="test.aspx.cs" Inherits="test" StylesheetTheme="Design1" %>
"Desgin1" means here the folder in which the css file is stored
visual studio automatically then gets the css-file
this should activate the css style in your page
greetings

hurzwurz Hi,
You may create an folder to place your CSS files in the App_Themes. You can add the App_Themes by right clicking the project in the Solution Explorer and adding ASp.NET folder.
You can call this folder any name. Let's say you called this 'MyStyle'.
Then go in the Web.Config file and make the following change.
<system.web>
..
<pages theme="MyStyle"></pages>.
.
</system.web>This should solve the problem.
Please let us know if this solved the issue.
Thanks
Chris.

Show content in both Master Page ContentPlaceholder AND Content Page Content control
I note that by default or rendering rules, when you add content/controls to the Content Page ASP:Content control matched to a Master Page ContentPlaceholder, any content/controls in the matching Master Page ContentPlaceholder is not displayed.

Content page accessing master page controls?
I'm probably that much of a noob that I've deviated from the path authors of ASP.NET 2.0 thought of how master and content pages should off been used... Looking from the outside it seemed logical to me that (even on this website) a search text box should be part of a master page and a page that displays results should be a content page... So the problem I'm having (if my hunch about that search textbox control in the header of say even this very website being part of a master page, and result page that subsequently loads underneath the header after you click go bei...
Accessing Content Page Control From Master Page
I'd like to access the value of a control residing on a content page from the associated master page. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks When you know the classname of your page, use: (in VB.NET) CType(Page, classname).ControlID.propertyName But this code will go wrong on all the other pages, so you have to check on which page you are. This being said, I advise you to consider another approach.Your master page should not use code that depends on the design of a particular content page. Your content pages should depend on your master page, not the other ...
