Re: Add literal content
Hey Paul, You can use the System.Web.UI.LiteralControlhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.literalcontrol.aspxto include raw HTML into an ASP.NET page. To include arbitrary in-line CSS styles into the page, you could alternatively consider using the ClientScriptManager object on the current ASP.NET Page or the CssRegistration class in the SharePoint API. Cheers, Joe.

RE: Add literal content
I think it might be worth taking a step back and looking at the reasons why you'd want to do this type of thing. I hear bells going off in my head telling me that this isn't a good idea. I can understand that you want your styles and scripts to live with your web part, but ignoring the fact that I know nothing of the background of why you're trying to do this, I'd suggest this should live in a masterpage - whether that's deployed with the feature which deploys the web parts, or otherwise. If you need it to be conditional, then I'd suggest that perhaps it's a custom control which sits within the masterpage which manages that logic. Other people who are implementing branding or styling on that page, then have the concern that by dropping on this web part, their styles may be overridden (and it can cause havoc, and a lot of head scratching). I'd be definitely looking at the reasons why the styling needs to be part of the web part (and the scripts), and see if you can abstract it to a higher level in the application.

RE: Add literal content
Perhaps it would be a good idea to make the style string an exposed property of the web part. That way it can have default settings but can be tweaked by editing the web part in the browser.

RE: Add literal content
Hi Matt, A bit of background. I'm attempting to deploy a DataFormWebPart for LightBox rendering of a specified Image library. The CSS and the script refs are specific to the rendering and functionality of the gallery and have no impact on anything else. There's also a dependency on my jQuery feature to avoid conflicts. The web part takes the List Name as a parameter for the datasource and the XML transformation is handled by pre-setting the XSL link value. [cid:image003.png@01CC8809.9B4D0120] Now, if only I could get past these errors. :( Think I've bitten off more than I can chew. Does anyone know a good resource for deploying DFWPs?? SPDataSourceView.ExecuteSelect() - selectArguments: IsEmpty=True, MaximumRows=0, RetrieveTotalRowCount=False, SortExpression=, StartRowIndex=0, TotalRowCount=-1 SPDataSourceView.ExecuteSelect() - formattedQuery = Unknown SPRequest error occurred. More information: 0x80070002 Error while executing web part: System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: s at System.IO.StringReader..ctor(String s) at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.DataFormWebPart.GetXslCompiledTransform() at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.DataFormWebPart.PrepareAndPerformTransform() Regards, Paul -- Online Developer/SharePoint Administrator, ICT Infrastructure Team CEO Sydney From: ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com] On Behalf Of Matthew Cosier Sent: Tuesday, 11 October 2011 11:16 AM To: 'ozMOSS' Subject: RE: Add literal content I think it might be worth taking a step back and looking at the reasons why you'd want to do this type of thing.
