How to: Set ASP.NET Server Control Style Properties Using ASP.NET Syntax

You can set style properties directly in the .aspx file in two ways.

Declare the style property using a convention of hyphenating the style object name and property, as shown in the following example:

<asp:Calendar Id="MyCalendar" 
  SelectionMode="DayWeek" runat="server" 
  TitleStyle-Backcolor="#3366ff"
  TitleStyle-ForeColor="White" />

<asp:Calendar Id="MyCalendar" 
  SelectionMode="DayWeek" runat="server" 
  TitleStyle-Backcolor="#3366ff"
  TitleStyle-ForeColor="White" />

-or-

Declare explicit elements in which you declare property elements of the appropriate data type, as shown in the following example:

<asp:Calendar id="Calendar1" 
  SelectionMode="DayWeek" runat="server">
  <TitleStyle BackColor="#3366ff" ForeColor="white" />
</asp:Calendar>

<asp:Calendar id="Calendar1" 
  SelectionMode="DayWeek" runat="server">
  <TitleStyle BackColor="#3366ff" ForeColor="white" />
</asp:Calendar>
