A couple notes:

1) You have what seems to be the "@" calls at the top for an ASCX file, if you're uploading it as HTML this will throw DNN for a loop

2) You may want to opt for CSS files instead of having your styles on the template page itself, just make  SKINNAME.css and put all your rules in there. It will make troubleshooting much less of a headache imo.

I'm getting the error below. I'm making changes to the ASCX skin directly in DNN's directory with VWD 2008 and I notice that in my new skin the first tag <%@ Control language="vb" CodeBehind="~/admin/Skins/skin.vb...." has a line under it saying the same thing "Property access must assign to the property or use it's value". In my old skin it's not underlined. Anyone have a clue what I'm doing wrong?

Could Not Load Skin: /Portals/_default/Skins/HollyFactory/Vertical Fixed.ascx Error: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\HollyFactory\Portals\_default\Skins\HollyFactory\Vertical Fixed.ascx(15): error BC30545: Property access must assign to the property or use its value.

Here is my NEW skin code that doesn't work:

Welshgaz, try this... And also put your CSS in your skin.css file in your skin folder.

I've made this mistake many a time and I should have it down by now. You have to put  =  in and spaces between skinpath and no / after the code block.

"<%= SkinPath %>images/trees_02.jpg"

GeoCentric Designs,

Thanks for that.  I was forgetting the = before SkinPath, however I made the adjustments and now I'm seeing this error.  This is a skin I've used on another site so I know it works, I just changed up the images located in the image folder within the skin.

Thoughts?

An error has occurred.
