ASP.NET CommandField & skin

Question

Hi.

I'm tying to skin ASP.NET GridView CommandField. Everything si working fine, just when I move CommandField property declarations from page to skin file, the whole commandField properties are ignored. here is my skin file:

<asp:GridView 
AllowPaging="true" 
AllowSorting="false" 
AutoGenerateEditButton="false" 
AutoGenerateDeleteButton="false" 
AutoGenerateSelectButton="false" 
AutoGenerateColumns="false" 
GridLines="None" 
PageSize="20" 
ShowFooter="false" 
ShowHeader="true" 
runat="server"> 
<Columns> 

<asp:CommandField 
ButtonType="Image" 
ControlStyle-Width="25" 
EditImageUrl="Images/Icons/pencil.png" 
DeleteImageUrl="Images/Icons/cross.png" 
/> 

</Columns> 
</asp:GridView> 

In web.config I apply only StyleSheetTheme. Do I miss something?

Thanks

Answer 1

What happens if you move the CommandField tag outside of the GridView tag?

i.e.:

<asp:GridView 
AllowPaging="true" 
AllowSorting="false" 
AutoGenerateEditButton="false" 
AutoGenerateDeleteButton="false" 
AutoGenerateSelectButton="false" 
AutoGenerateColumns="false" 
GridLines="None" 
PageSize="20" 
ShowFooter="false" 
ShowHeader="true" 
runat="server"> 
</asp:GridView> 

<asp:CommandField 
ButtonType="Image" 
ControlStyle-Width="25" 
EditImageUrl="Images/Icons/pencil.png" 
DeleteImageUrl="Images/Icons/cross.png" 
/> 

Answer 2

I get:

Content of literal

<asp:CommandField
ButtonType="Image"
ShowDeleteButton="true"
ItemStyle-Width="25"
DeleteImageUrl="~/App_Themes/SimplaAdmin/Images/Icons/cross.png"
/>

is not allowed within a skin file.
