We will use the namespace of System.Web.UI in this tutorial.

Imports System.Web.UI

Please add two controls of labels, textboxs and buttons to the webpage page, and a control of dropdownlist to select color of controls in the page. Then please create theme folder of BlueTheme and PurpleTheme, and add Control.skin, Default.css to the folders.

Protected Sub Page_PreInit(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.PreInit

Page.Theme = Request("ChooseTheme")

End Sub 'Page_PreInit

'Control.skin of the BlueTheme

<asp:TextBox BackColor="#c4d4e0" ForeColor="#0b12c6" Runat="Server" />
<asp:Label ForeColor="#0b12c6" Runat="Server" />
<asp:Button BackColor="#c4d4e0" ForeColor="#0b12c6" Runat="Server" />

'Control.skin of the PurpleTheme

<asp:TextBox BackColor="#ccccff" ForeColor="#602bff" Runat="Server" />
<asp:Label ForeColor="#602bff" Runat="Server" />
<asp:Button BackColor="#ccccff" ForeColor="#602bff" Runat="Server" />

The front end Default.aspx page looks something like this:

<fieldset>
<legend>Asp.net2.0 Theme Demo</legend>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tableStyle">

<tr>

<td colspan="2" align="center">
Select a theme of the page:
<asp:dropdownlist id="ChooseTheme" runat="server" autopostback="true">
<asp:ListItem Value="BlueTheme">Select Color</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="BlueTheme">Blue</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="PorpleTheme">Purple</asp:ListItem>
</asp:dropdownlist>
</td>

</tr><tr>

<td height="23px" class="tdStyle" colspan="2"></td>

</tr>
<tr>

<td align="center" height="52px" style="width: 513px; text-align: right;">
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Enter Your Name:" Width="141px"></asp:Label> 
</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</td>

</tr>
<tr>

<td align="center" height="52px" style="width: 513px; text-align: right;">
 <asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text="Enter Your Nickname:" Width="164px"></asp:Label> </td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</td>

</tr>
<tr>

<td align="center" height="50px" style="width: 513px; text-align: right;">
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text=" OK " /> 
</td>
<td>
<asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="Cancel" />
</td>

</tr>
<tr>

<td height="23px" colspan="2"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><br /><br /></td>

</tr>

</table>
</fieldset>

The flow for the code behind page as follows.

Partial Class _Default

Inherits System.Web.UI.Page Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load End Sub Protected Sub Page_PreInit(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.PreInit

Page.Theme = Request("ChooseTheme")

End Sub 'Page_PreInit

End Class
