1. How to use StyleFolder?
You can put 'styles' folder anywhere on your web server.
Then set StyleFolder to point to it (use web relative paths).
If 'styles' is placed in the root of your application, use
StyleFolder = "/styles/mystyle"
If 'styles' is in the same folder with your file, use
StyleFolder = "styles/mystyle"
If 'styles' is one level up from your file, use
StyleFolder = "../styles/mystyle"

2. Switch to "Home Directory" tab.
3. Click on "Configuration" button under "Application Settings".
4. In the new window go into "Mappings" tab.
5. Copy (into notepad for example) all values for .aspx extension.
6. Click "Add" button to add a new entry.
7. "Executable" field is the same as the path for .aspx extension
(example: c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll).
8. "Extension" field must be ".axd".
9. Verbs are limited to "GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG".
10. Uncheck "Verify that file exists" (important that it is unchecked).
Click OK on all open dialogs.
This should now reference web resource files correctly.
6. Exception is thrown when trying to render the control content inside an HtmlTextWriter.
In this case you need to set the Page property of your control to the current page object.
Show1.Page = this.Page;
where Show1 is your show control object.
