Designing UserControls in VS2005 Pro using stylesheets (css)

[ts]

Hi experts,

when trying to design a UserControl (ascx) using the designeditor of
VisualStudio2005 Pro:
How can I embedd a stylesheet to make a perfect layout ?

Until today I've designed some kind of html-template using another
editor (for example dreamweaver) and then I copied and pasted the html
code into html view of the control so I could us stylesheets to format
my controls.

Yet I did not find a way to create a new ASCX in VStudio and then
embedd a stylesheet while designtime so my layouts look worse while
designing them ...

Any ideas / suggests ??

Regards

Tom

To get proper design time support for CSS in ASCX you will need to use what
Microsoft calls "themes"

Seems like that is the solution to my problem )
