how to set different themes in web.config after precompiling

Question

application is taking default theme set in web.config after precompilation, it is not taking the second theme, is there any tag or attribute in web.config for setting multiple themes before application is precompiled or after precompile

Vaikesh K P · Answer

In the application's Web.config file, set the element to the name of the theme, either a global theme or a page theme, as shown in the following example: NB: If an application theme has the same name as a global application theme, the page theme takes precedence. To set a theme as a style sheet theme and be subordinated to local control settings), set the styleSheetTheme attribute instead: A theme setting in the Web.config file applies to all ASP.NET Web pages in that application. Theme settings in the Web.config file follow normal configuration hierarchy conventions. For example, to apply a theme to only a subset of pages, you can put the pages in a folder with their own Web.config file or create a element in the root Web.config file to specify a folder.

Its working fine in codebase...but when i publish it and deploy in IIS it is taking the default theme which i have set in the web.config while publishing. “ThemeName” is applied by default. Issue is when I change it to “ThemeName2” the second theme to be applied its not changing to “ThemeName2” instead theme “ThemeName” is applied. I got this issue when I published the website with “ThemeName” and deployed in IIS .
