Hi,

I am using dot net 2.0. It is with a new tag - MENU. Also THEMES are available.

I have defined four themes BLUE, RED, GREEN & KHAKI. Under every theme one skin file is defined. Inside every skin file, various SkinID's are defined that points to images related to that theme.

If I have to include that image inside my page, I use "asp:Image ID=imgTopLogo SkinID=TopLogo runat=server" kind of code.

Now, I want to use SkinID element to set the background to the asp:menuitem tag. I am unable to find the property of MENU tag where I can assign that SkinID.

Please help me in this.

In your .skin file for the Menu (ex: Menu.skin), you define the background
and other characteristics of MenuItems based on the Menu tag itself:

---
<asp:Menu runat="server" SkinId="redMenu">
  <StaticMenuItemStyle ... />
  <DynamicMenuItemStyle ... />

  <DynamicHoverStyle ... />
  <StaticHoverStyle ... /> 

</asp:Menu>
---

Then call that from your presentation page:
---
    <asp:Menu ID="myMenu" runat="server" SkinID="redMenu">
    <Items>
        <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/Default.aspx" Text="Home Page" Value="Home
Page" />
    </Items>
    </asp:Menu>
---

or programatically assign it in codebehind prior to the page's generation:
---
protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        myMenu.SkinID = "redMenu";
    }
---
