Question

Is it possible to dynamically change the masterpage on the whole project dependent on current active theme ? or alternatively i need to hide / show details on my existing masterpage dependant on the active theme, hope that makes sense.

suggestions please

Thanks

I don’t think that you can change the masterpage depending on the theme, but showing/hiding elements is possible. E.g:

Add elements to your masterpage and give them SkinId:

<asp:Panel id="Panel1" runat="server" SkinID="skin1" >
  ...
</asp:Panel>

Then in your themes/skin files (e.g. app_themes/theme1/master.skin), you can set the Visible property for Panels with that SkinID to either true or false:

<asp:Panel runat="server" SkinID="skin1" Visible="true">
  ...
</asp:Panel>
