Here is the premise:

I need to be able to allow skinning of a stock control using the Theme.SkinFile system.

It needs to be able to use values from a global resource file, and call eval, as it will be databound.

Here are the issues:

Lines like <%$ resources:file, key%> and <%# Eval("Key") %> are not valid in skin files.

Here is what the code looks like page side:


<asp:ListViewID="SampleList"SkinID="SampleListSkin"runat="server"/>

here is what the skin looks like:


<asp:ListViewSkinID="SampleTable"runat="server">
<LayoutTemplate>
<table>
<tr>
<tdclass="thead"><%$ Resources:locale, name%></td>
<tdclass="thead"><%$ Resources:locale, value%></td>
</tr>
<asp:PlaceHolderID="itemPlaceholder"runat="server"/>
<tr>
<tdclass="tfoot">-</td>
<tdclass="tfoot">-</td>
</tr>
</table>
</LayoutTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<tr>
<tdclass="trow"><%# Eval("Key")%></td>
<tdclass="trow"><%# Eval("Value")%></td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
The above was also tried using and asp:literal to the same effect.

Now, how do I solve this?
