themes Images

I am successfully using images as background images in table cells to display
a graphical border.

This all works well and (as expected) I was wondering if there is a way
using themes to also allow images to be replaced based on the theme. I know
this could be done server-side but it must surely be able to be done using
themes instead.

Any Ideas?

Try perhaps :
http://quickstarts.asp.net/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/themes/fileformat.aspx#images

It's likely it could work the same by using a skinid for your asp:table tag
(not sure all properties are skinable though ?)

Thanks Patrice.

I think you are right this should work better than just dynamically
repointing server side as it will allow control to more than just the Image.
However, I will add it to this of things to look into when I am finished as I
have just completed and tested the server side approach.

Done - at last!

It has just taken me the best part of 8 hours to do a small site (10 aspx,
14 ascx with 120 skin entries). I can honestly say it was worth the effort.

I had an idea of how it should work, but working thorough an entire site
showed me ways that I could change my website design to get the most out of
them.

I am now ready to create a style/image editor for my application that will
allow customers to create their own themes.

Whilst I could go further by allowing customers to upload their own modified
ascx and aspx files and make it completely customiseable. I feel very few
people would actually be able to do a good enough job that is probably best I
just allow them to play round with styles and images.
