Infragistics Application Styling Configuration Tool

Note
Note:

Add-ins are deprecated since Visual Studio 2015. If you want to style your projects directly from within Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2015 you can use Infragistics AppStyling Extension. The whole functionality from the add-in is preserved and you can use this topic as a reference. To run the extension, open the Tools menu and select ‘Infragistics AppStyling Extension 16.2’. If you use previous version of Microsoft® Visual Studio®, you can still use the add-in.

Separate .vsix instalator is provided for 2015.2 and 2015.1.

The Infragistics Application Styling Configuration Tool offers you a convenient way to style your projects directly from within Microsoft® Visual Studio® with Application Styling Framework™ (ASF) StyleSet libraries created using Infragistics AppStylist® for ASP.NET.

The tool is an add-in accessible from within Visual Studio. It allows you to apply any ASF StyleSet (libraries of consistently themed CSS files and graphic images) you have installed. The Ultimate UI for ASP.NET product includes a number of predefined ASF StyleSets created by visual designers for Ultimate UI for ASP.NET controls. Using Infragistics AppStylist, your visual designers can create additional ASF StyleSets for your ASP.NET applications.

Using the Infragistics Application Styling Configuration Tool, you can also toggle ASF support on or off in the Ultimate UI for ASP.NET controls that appear in your application by selecting the "Enable Application Styling for this Project" check box. The configuration tool saves you time by configuring ASF default settings, which are automatically saved in your Web application’s Web.Config file.

See below for an explanation of each option in the Infragistics Application Styling Configuration Tool.
