Public Interface IStyleSheet

Examples

The following code example uses the Header implementation of IStyleSheet to demonstrate programmatically creating a new style rule and registering the custom Style object.

In the first part of the example, a custom Style object, labelStyle, is created and then registered for the current location (URL). Then the label1 label calls the MergeStyle method so that the labelStyle style is applied to the label1 label.

The second part of the example defines another custom Style object, bodyStyle,and sets its properties to create a new style rule.

Note

This class is intended primarily for developers that want to create a custom implementation. This example demonstrates the implementation provided by the .NET Framework.

The following is the code-behind file for the Web page in the preceding example.

public partial class istylesheetcs : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // Create a Style object to hold style rules to apply to a Label control.
        Style labelStyle = new Style();

        labelStyle.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.DarkRed;
        labelStyle.BorderColor = System.Drawing.Color.DarkBlue;
        labelStyle.BorderWidth = 2;

        // Register the Style object so that it can be merged with 
        // the Style object of the controls that use it.
        Page.Header.StyleSheet.RegisterStyle(labelStyle, null);

        // Merge the labelCssStyle style with the label1 control's
        // style settings.
        label1.MergeStyle(labelStyle);
        label1.Text = "This is what the labelCssStyle looks like.";

        // Create a Style object for the <BODY> section of the Web page.
        Style bodyStyle = new Style();

        bodyStyle.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;
        bodyStyle.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightGray;

        // Add the style to the header of the current page.
        Page.Header.StyleSheet.CreateStyleRule(bodyStyle, null, "BODY");

        // Add text to the label2 control to see the label without 
        // the labelStyle applied to it.  
        label2.Text = "This is what the bodyStyle looks like.";
    }
}

Remarks

Classes that implement this interface can use it to support the creation of style rules.

To customize the way cascading style sheets are created and registered, you must create a class that implements this interface.

The HtmlHead class implements this interface for use by ASP.NET through the Header property.

Note

Adding or modifying styles or style rules programmatically during asynchronous postbacks is not supported. When you add AJAX capabilities to an ASP.NET Web page, asynchronous postbacks update regions of the page without updating the whole page. For more information, see Microsoft Ajax Overview.

Methods

CreateStyleRule(Style, IUrlResolutionService, String)	When implemented by a class, creates a style rule for the specified document language element type, or selector.
RegisterStyle(Style, IUrlResolutionService)	When implemented by a class, adds a new style rule to the embedded style sheet in the `<head>` section of a Web page.
