I want to use the CSS control adapter in my project, I googled on using this control, everywhere it says need to download the vsi file and install it and it will be available ready to use with the project. But on codeplex i can only find a soyrce zip file,
a dll file and a browser file. I have downloaded these, but I dont know how do I use them. I could not find any updated post on using this. Can somebody please help me with this.
Also I am using VS2008 and 3.5 framework, so will it work with this.
1. Downloading the current release. There are two ways you can do this:
Go to the
Releases tab. You should see three prominent links to files. The
zip file contains the source code, the CSSFriendly.dll file contains the compiled source code, and the the
CSSFriendlyAdapters.browser file is a configuration file. You only need the
dll and browser files.
Go to the
Source Code tab. Download the latest change set (source code) by clicking the Download tab. This will include the source code, a test/sample web site, and the
CSSFriendlyAdapters.browser configuration file. Open the source code project in Visual Studio, compile it to produce
CSSFriendly.dll file. Note that the latest change set has many features and bug fixes over the latest release, but is not as well tested in production environments.
2. Add a reference to CSSFriendly.dll. This is typically done by right-clicking your web project, choosing the Add References command, browsing for the CSSFriendly.dll file, and clicking OK.
3. Add the CSSFriendlyAdapters.browser file to the AppBrowsers folder in the root of your web project. If the AppBrowsers folder doesn't exist, create it.
Note: You can delete lines from the configuration file if you do not want to use the modified adapters for certain controls.
So Once I add the reference to dll and add the browser file, How do I use it. Is it like the controls would automatically render using the CSS control or I have to code the control before using. Any example/sample code would be highly appreciated.

the latest version does not include vsi file so :
1. Downloading the current release. There are two ways you can do this:
2. Add a reference to CSSFriendly.dll. This is typically done by right-clicking your web project, choosing the Add References command, browsing for the CSSFriendly.dll file, and clicking OK.
3. Add the CSSFriendlyAdapters.browser file to the AppBrowsers folder in the root of your web project. If the AppBrowsers folder doesn't exist, create it.
Note: You can delete lines from the configuration file if you do not want to use the modified adapters for certain controls.
hope this helps.

Hi,
I'm also trying to get this CSS Control Adapter running.
But for some reason it's still showing the table when I'm trying to use the TreeView or Menu control.
First I referenced the CSSFriendly.dll. It's now in the Bin folder of my web application.
Then I put the CSSFriendlyAdapters.browser into the App_Browser folder.
Is there anything else I have to do?
Thanks for any help
