Dynamic CSS Styles

Question

User960677137 posted

I want to be able to create a style sheet at session startup (based on a large number of variables... this sheet must be created on the fly and can not be hard coded).

At the moment i can set up styles and apply them to controls using the VS designer (html behind of a page). But i need to be able to create these styles at runtime because they will differ for each session. The names of the styles may not differ, but the elements inside the style will be changing.

I figured that one thing i could do is create a css file using System.IO to create the file and then use that to apply (but even then, im not sure how i go from creating the file to including it in the project at runtime), but is there an easier way?

While this is not the efficient solution, you can always build an HtmlGenericControl that is an HTML style block and populate it on the fly.  This way, you would not need to build a CSS file.

ASPX HTML code:

<style id="hgcStyle" runat="server" />

C# code-behind (in Page_Load):

hgcStyle.Attributes.Add("type", "text/css");
hgcStyle.InnerHtml = ".myclass{height:10px;background-color:Aqua;}";

hope this will help you. and you can customize as you want.

import TextField.StyleSheet;
var css:String = "a { color:#FF0000; text-decoration:underline; }"
               + "a:hover { color:#0000FF; }";
var style:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
style.parseCSS( css );
textField.styleSheet = style;
textField.htmlText = 'Ultra<a href="http://...">shocked</a>';
