  Use css for a CompositeControl

  Sep 24, 2009 10:16 PM|LINK

  Hello people,

  I am new to ASP.NET and I hope someone can help me.
  

  I have problems applying Styles from a css-file on the controls of my Class PropGridControl derived from CompositeControl. This custom control will be used in any web application so I want to define the styles in my class.

  When I instanciate my Controls in the CreateChildControls(), I do something like this:

  This has no effect when I use the Control in a website.

  I have added the file Style.css to the project and I have set Build Action to Embedded Resource in the properties. I know I am missing something here but I don't no how to do it.   How do I register the css-file to my Class?

  I hope someone can help.

  Thanks,

  sortep.

  my default namespance is RTG.SiteTools.WebControls

  here is a simple control

  namespace RTG.SiteTools.WebControls {
      public class Label : System.Web.UI.Control {
  
          public string Text{get;set;}
          public string TipTitle{get;set;}
          public string TipContent{get;set;}
  
  
          protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e) {
              base.OnInit(e);
  
              string css = "<link href=\"" + Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(this.GetType(), "RTG.SiteTools.WebControls.ToolTips.css") + "\" type=\"text/css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" />";
  
              Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(), "tooltips", css, false);
          }
  
          
  
          protected override void Render(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter writer) {
              base.Render(writer);
              System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image img = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image();
              img.ImageUrl = Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(typeof(RTG.SiteTools.WebControls.Label), @"RTG.SiteTools.WebControls.Info.png");
              writer.Write(String.Format(@"
                  <a class='tooltip' href='#' tabindex='-1' onclick='return false'><b>{0}</b>
                      <span id='tooltipSpan' class='custom info'>
                          <img class='tooltip' src='{1}' alt='Information' height='48' width='48' />
                          <em class='tooltip'>{2}</em>
                          {3}
                      </span>
                  </a>",
                  Text, img.ImageUrl, TipTitle, TipContent));
              
          }

  I finnaly figured it out.

  I put the image and css in a directory each.  Not one person mentioned that you need the namespace.(path).filename

  so when I referene it in the assembly as well as in the ClientScript it would read.

  [assembly: WebResource("RTG.SiteTools.WebControls.Images.Info.png", "img/png")]

  Guess I am the only one that does not like all my files in the root.
