Importing CSS file in page that uses a master page

[McGeeky]

Hi. I have a page that is based on a master page. But how do I tell this
page to use a CSS file using the LINK tag in the HEAD tag when the master
page has this declaration in it?

Make sure that the head tag in the master page has the runat="server" and
ID="MyHead" atributes set.

You can then access the head in the master page by using something like:

HTMLHead MasterHead = (HTMLHead)Master.FindControl("MyHead");

If (MasterHead.Atributes["LINK"] == "something");
{
Do something
}

You can add a theme to the site and put the css file in it. If you
specify that the page uses the theme, a link tag for the css file will
be added in the head tag.

How do you put a css file in a skin file?

Themes can be very restrictive with regard to CSS as they prevent modifying
the HTML source directly. You want to use a StyleSheetTheme if anything so
you can write a style attribute inline when needed. Skins and Themes also
bloat the hell out of the page.

To answer your question though the CSS file goes right into the Theme's
folder which is a subdirectory of app_Themes.

Hmm...? Why would you like to do that?

Just put the css file in the theme folder, and it will be used by the page.

Thanks for that. Never used themes before so please excuse my ignorance
