What are the types of control skins in ASP.NET and what is the difference between Named skins and Default skins?

  1. Default skins
  2. Named skins

Difference :

A default skin automatically applies to all controls of the same type when a theme is applied to a page. 

A control skin is a default skin if it does not have a SkinID attribute. 

For example, if you create a default skin for a Calendar control, the control skin applies to all Calendar controls on pages that use the theme. (Default skins are matched exactly by control type, so that a Button control skin applies to all Button controls, but not to Link Button controls or to controls that derive from the Button object.) 

A named skin is a control skin with a SkinID property set. 

Named skins do not automatically apply to controls by type. Instead, you explicitly apply a named skin to a control by setting the control's SkinID property. 

Creating named skins allows you to set different skins for different instances of the same control in an application
