I was just wondering if anyones worked out a way of doing dynamic headers and footers in ASP.NET (VB) without using a whole load'a 'Select Case SkinVar'

not exactly sure what you are asking....

but if i am guessing right.. instead of having the header and footer controls called directly on the UI page, you could use an <asp:placeholder> instead, and then inside the code, "load" that placeholder with a specific skinned header based on some criteria.....

or if your "skin" can be handled just by a .css file, then dynmically set the <link> tag pointing to the css file

or even use that old fashioned server.execute(request.querystring("page"))
