I just tried in DNN 4.4
<div style="background-image:url(<%=skinpath%>image.gif)">
Does get processed in that version, so the text in the skinning document is correct.

Timo,

the <%= skinpath %> bit is just short for <% response.write(skinpath) %>. This will be interpreted by asp.net each time the control is loaded. As the browser will never know the original code, and just sees the output (the complete path of the skinfolder in this case), it will work in any location that needs a reference to the skinpath (and makes your skins portable in the same time)

Erik,
I know, I use it all the time, the original poster was only complaining about inline styles not being processed,
It seemed unlogical, but if so then... ( I never use inline styles, but you are right there is no real reason why they wouldn't work)

You write:
"it will work in any location that needs a reference to the skinpath"
Isn't there one (small) exception?  You cannot pass it to a skinobject like this, can you?

correct, because the call to a skinobject is already serverside code, notation like <%= %> only works in plain html that is part of the server page, and a remnant of the old ASP vbscript language

Anyway, you should be careful using too much interpreted code in your skin, i'm not sure what it does for performance. I'd think using inline css like this makes the skin load just a little bit slower. For a busy site that might translate in a considerable performance loss

I sometimes have quite a lot of VB code in my ascx file (yes I know I should start creating modules ;-).
Maybe I'm missing something, but why would this be slower compared to the situation where this code would be in a module?
My idea is that it might slow the page a bit down the first time it's used or after an app restart, since it has to be compiled, but if it is it shouldn't make a difference, should it?
