Hi There,

I am having some issues with applying skins to my controls. I have created skins using the tool, which then creates the relevant ascx files.

Example code:

sTreeSkinFile = "~/data/myTreeSkin.EO.TreeView.ascx"
sSkinName = "treeSkin"

EO.Web.TreeView.LoadTreeViewSkin(sTreeSkinFile, sSkinName)
oTreeView.ControlSkinID = sSkinName

AND

sCalendarSkinFile = "~/data/myCalSkin.EO.Calendar.ascx"
sSkinName = "calSkin"

EO.Web.Calendar.LoadCalendarSkin(sCalendarSkinFile, sSkinName)
oCalendar.ControlSkinID = sSkinName


(Where oTreeView is a EO.Web.TreeView control, and oCalendar is a EO.Web.Calendar control.

However, for the tree, the skin does not even show (but I get no error), and for the calendar, i get the following error:

"Unable to cast object of type 'EO.Web.Calendar' to type 'EO.Web.DatePicker'"

Even though I do not have any Date Pickers on the page.

My skins look ok if I copy the control out of the ASCX file and into an ASPX page, but I cannot seem to apply the ASCX to other controls.


The strange thing is, a similar approach works for the TabStrip without issue. All this code gets called in my Page_Load event.

Is there something I've missed or have done wrong?

David

Hi There,

Thanks for the quick response. :)

By changing the skin to use eo:DatePicker instead of eo:Calendar then it works :). Might be a comment you need to add to the Calendar builder so this is more obvious.

I look forward to the fix for the TreeView issue.

Hi David,

I believe we already have an internal build that fixed this problem. Please see your private message for the download location for the fix.

Thanks
