Themes (and skins) question.

[Smeat]

I am using themes in a web application and using a querystring on the login page to decide which theme to apply.

Is there a way I can detect if the themeID supplied on the querystring corresponds to an existing theme so that I can use a default theme if it doesn't exist?

For instance:

string themeName = Request.QueryString["theme"];
if (themeName == null)
{
themeName = "Default";
}

//THIS IS WHERE I NEED HELP
if(theme exists then set it)
{
Page.Theme = themeName;
}
else
{
Page.Theme = "Default";
}

TIA

How are the themes stored? Are they each in a seperate folder? If so, you may be able to just check to see if the folder exists.

The themes are stored in the App_Themes folder.

I could read each file in all sub directories and look for the specific theme file though i'm hoping Microsoft have had the foresight to realise developers would benefit from gaining access to the themes collection.
