FP2003 and ASP.NET

[Guest]

Hi all

I am developing a ASP.NET web application that I would like to deploy to various customers and have the ability to use an existing FP theme or to apply a custom FP theme.

How do I configure ASP.NET to use the styles associated with a given FP theme? I have searched multiple newsgroups and have not seen any discussions regarding this. Is there any printed material on this topic

Thank
Ti

Hi all,

You can *probably* just open the ASP.NET project as a
FrontPage Web site and apply the theme, but this warrants
careful testing. FrontPage might skip over or corrupt
certain server controls.

The far more accepted (and safer) alternative would be to
do all your formatting through a CSS stylesheet, and then
let the customers modify the stylesheet.
