Summary:
Web server controls can be customized by setting properties or by using CSS styles. Some allow you to customize their look through ASP.NET templates. An ASP.NET template is a mix of HTML elements and ASP.NET controls that make up the layout for a particular area of the control. Templates are not the same as styles. Styles primarily refer to CSS stylesheets and affect graphical properties such as colors, font, border style, cell spacing, and so forth. With styles, the control's layout remains unchanged in its structure but can be modified in its appearance. In contrast, templates involve deeper changes that modify some portions of a control's user interface. |
