Do you actually need to create an entire cascading stylesheet, or do just
need to apply some style(s) to an individual Label control...?
 
I need to create the stylesheet at runtime.

To aply the style to the label I would do MyLabel.CssClass =
"MyStyleSheet"
This part is easy.

The reason why I asked how to apply it is because I am not sure if
something changes when the stylesheet is created at runtime.

Anyway, do you know how to create the stylesheet at runtime?

And one more thing: what about adding the stylesheet, created at
runtime, to an existing CSS file?

Thanks,
Miguel

Same way you would create any other text file:

Well, you'd have to open the existing CSS file, append the text from the
newly created CSS file into it, and save the existing CSS file.

Are you *really* sure you want to do this...?
 
I have used dynamic stylesheets in a few places, it goes something like this
:

create the style sheet data - cache it somewhere -
session/application/cache/disk/...
reference the stylesheet in your page
write an http handler to catch the request for the stylesheet, retreive it
from the appropriate cache and serve it back.

of course if you are writing the .css to disk then the handler isn't
necesarily required
 
control.style.add("thestyle","the value")

The OP is trying to create an entirely new cascading stylesheet file, and
then merge it with an existing stylesheet file...

At least, that's what he says he's trying to do...
