    Advanced Templates and Skinning in ASP.NET Presentation

    Last week I gave the presentation at our user group meeting.  The code and Powerpoint slides are now up for you to check out if you're interested.  I basically went through how to setup a base template, use it, then create multiple skins the user can select on top of it.

    Hope someone gets some use out of it...I know we have!  :)

    I used a similar approach in the past (actually might be going back to it soon).

    I had a base set of usercontrols that acted like my templates. I then overrode AddParsedSubObject and took whatever I found in the .aspx page and loaded it to my template.

    protected override void AddParsedSubObject(object control)
    {
    LoadTemplate();
    LoadBodyControl((Control)control);

    }

    Yup, cool, that's what I'm doing, except in a different place. :)
