Use of css in asp.net

Question

I have a doubt that in asp.net I am using CssClass class attribute for web server controls. And i am writing all the css code in style.css which will be in style folder of my project

    <asp:TextBox ID="UserName" runat="server" CssClass="textEntry"></asp:TextBox>

The above is the example of the textbox.

Now the question is do i need to use link tag to say that my css file is located in style folder of my project?

You simply need to include your stylesheet in your HTML with the <style> or <link> tag. — Mike Christensen

Yes, you have to link the style sheet file (.css) by adding the link tag.

You can also simply drag the css file into the html section of the .aspx code right under head tag, that will work too - that will create the link for you.

you mean just by dragging and dropping the style folder into my aspx file. It will work?

No, not the folder - you have to drag the css file.

Of course you need to link to your css file just like you do in regular html:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style/mystyle.css">

While writing .aspx file just think as if you are writing an HTML file with the ability to pre-process the page through the ASP.NET view engine (which is where the additional asp tags come into play).

If he is using themes (correctly) then the <link> element will be added automatically.

No, the tag is only used to apply a class within your CSS file. Just make sure you link your CSS file with your page as follows:

<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="path_to_your.css">
</head>
