After a fresh installation, I was looking into the skin files that are shipped and that I had been developing till today.

<%@ Control Language="vb" Codebehind="~/admin/Skins/skin.vb" AutoEventWireup="false"
    Explicit="True" Inherits="DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Skin" %>

I can't find the skin.vb file under admin/skins folder at all. Where is it located if at all? Does DNN allow to build a skin with code behind files, and if so, how it woud be deployed. At the last, I read that, "the Skin class iterates through all of the modules that are associated with the portal page.". Is that what this skin.vb file does all for us, and if I write a codebehind I will have to do that myself? I just want to place some UI controls in the skin ascx file and code for them right there, such that they are loaded as the page starts loading and are accessible to end user from that point, rather than placing them in a seperate module. Does that make sence?

Hi

you can either use skinobjects or inline code

<script runat="server">
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
   Dim skinDocType as Control = Me.Page.FindControl("skinDocType")
   If Not skinDocType is Nothing
      CType(skinDocType, System.Web.UI.WebControls.Literal).Text="<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC ""-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"" ""http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"">"
   End If
End Sub
</script>

This solution is faster than codebehind?
