Hi. currently i m using asp.net 2005 (2.0 framework). i have created 3 themes and i let the user to change the theme (using dropdownbox). below code i have used.

const string _themeListIDKey = "_themeListIDKey";
protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (IsPostBack)
{
string uniqueID = Request[_themeListIDKey];

        if (uniqueID != null && Request\[uniqueID\] != null)
        {
            Theme = Request\[uniqueID\];
            Session\["SelectedTheme"\] = Theme;
        }
    }
}

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ClientScript.RegisterHiddenField(_themeListIDKey, ((DropDownList)(this.Master.FindControl("DropDownList1"))).UniqueID);

Do you mean Page_Load or onload in the client ? Show the code that fails.

Where did you used Page.Theme = currentTheme ?? Don't Apply the theme to all pages. Try to use HTTPHanlder for do the job automatically for you.
