[asp.net] Adding a stylesheet to asp.net (using Visual Studio 2010)

I am trying to add a stylesheet to a master page in an asp.net web form. Basically trying to create an inline nav menu for the top of the page. I'm having issues with it. I've created the stylesheet (the same way I would create if this were an html site) and I've put it in the directory you see below. I don't see how the code below shows any relation to the stylesheet though.

Like in html, I would have

  • Home
  • About
  • Contact

And then my stylesheet would look like this...

ul {
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

li {
display:inline;
padding:20px;
}

And the CSS would let it display inline (across the top). But I'm not sure where to go here.

This question is related to asp.net css inline navigationbar

The answer is


The only thing you have to do is to add in the cshtml file, in the head, the following line:

        @Styles.Render("~/Content/Main.css")

The entire head will look somethink like that:

    <head>
         <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
         <title>HTML Page</title>
         @Styles.Render("~/Content/main.css")
    </head>

Hope it helps!!


Several things here.

First off, you're defining your CSS in 3 places!

In line, in the head and externally. I suggest you only choose one. I'm going to suggest externally.

I suggest you update your code in your ASP form from

<td style="background-color: #A3A3A3; color: #FFFFFF; font-family: 'Arial Black'; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;" 
        class="style6">

to this:

<td  class="style6">

And then update your css too

.style6
    {
        height: 79px; background-color: #A3A3A3; color: #FFFFFF; font-family: 'Arial Black'; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;
    }

This removes the inline.

Now, to move it from the head of the webForm.

<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="MasterPage.master.cs" Inherits="MasterPage" %>

    <tr>
        <td class="style6">
            <asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server">
                <Items>
                    <asp:MenuItem Text="Home" Value="Home"></asp:MenuItem>
                    <asp:MenuItem Text="About" Value="About"></asp:MenuItem>
                    <asp:MenuItem Text="Compliance" Value="Compliance">

                    <asp:MenuItem Text="Contact" Value="Contact"></asp:MenuItem>
                </Items>
            </asp:Menu>
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td class="style6">
            <img alt="South University'" class="style7" 
                src="file:///C:/Users/jnewnam/Documents/Visual%20Studio%202010/WebSites/WebSite1/img/suo_n_seal_hor_pantone.png" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td class="style2">
            <table class="style3">
                <tr>
                    <td>
                        &nbsp;</td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td style="color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #A3A3A3">
            This is the footer.</td>
    </tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Now, in a new file called master.css (in your css folder) add

ul {
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

li {
display:inline;
padding:20px;
}
.style1
{
    width: 100%;
}
.style2
{
    height: 459px;
}
.style3
{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
}
.style6
{
    height: 79px; background-color: #A3A3A3; color: #FFFFFF; font-family: 'Arial Black'; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;
}
.style7
{
    width: 345px;
    height: 73px;
}

Add your style here:

<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Site.master.cs" Inherits="BSC.SiteMaster" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

    <link href="~/Styles/Site.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <link href="~/Styles/NewStyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

    <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="HeadContent" runat="server">
    </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</head>

Then in the page:

<asp:Table CssClass=NewStyleExampleClass runat="server" >
