Hi,
After reading the following, can you see why I do not get the css to work please? thanks
Maybe there is something I have to place for this css?
I am using VS2010 to build a web project.
I have added the folder App_Themes.
Under it there is a subfolder called AADefault. Under this there is AA.css
Inside AA.css I have added the following:

HTML

.DepartmentListContent
{
...
}

The .ascx file has this in the source:

ASP.NET

<asp:DataList ID="list" runat="server" Width="200px" CssClass="DepartmentListContent">

Should I put anything in the web.config?
I paced

HTML

<pages themes="AA.css" />

But there is an error it says unrecognized which refers to pages

You need to add a reference to an external CSS stylesheet in your aspx page.
E.g.

XML

<link href="CSS/StyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

You can find a reference to this at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tbze79kd%28v=vs.80%29.aspx[^] well.

you are saying that you are putting your css file inside a subfolder called AADefault under App_Theme folder, After doing this you need to tell your webpages that which folder is holding the css file so you need to write following code in web.config:-

XML

<pages theme="AADefault">
</pages>

where AADefault is your folder name which containing your css file.
this is all you need to do.

Good luck.
