DotNetNuke Skinning – Standard CSS Classes
By now, you’ve gotten the idea that creating a set of skins and containers for DotNetNuke is a little bit more work than just creating some HTML, images, and a CSS file. Hopefully, you also realize that it isn’t really that much more work than what you are used to, just a few more tags, really.
Today, you’ll be happy to know that we are going to spend all of our time talking about HTML and CSS. Something you should already feel comfortable with.
DotNetNuke – Internationalization
One of the core features of DotNetNuke is that all of the text that shows up on a page either comes out of the database or out of resource files. Anything that comes out of the resource files can be localized for country and region.

DotNetNuke Skinning – Containers
Today we move our focus to DotNetNuke containers. Not because we are done with skins, but because we can’t go any further in our discussion of skinning until we cover containers.

Why you can’t cast an integer to a string.
I saw this question last Thursday on Channel 9 that I’ve heard before. My guess is that there are enough people who have the same question that it’s worth addressing.
I know there’s probably a really good reason for this, but I can’t think of what it is, and it keeps bugging me. Why can’t you do
int x = 10;
string y = (string)x;
in C#? I mean, you could simply use x.ToString(), but why doesn’t the explicit cast do the same?
