His teaching style is very articulate and easy to understand. Although this video is essentially about changing site themes, he introduces a whole range of other concepts that can be used in all of your projects: master pages, inheritance, base classes. The amount one can learn from him in only 15 mins makes watching them really worthwhile.  I wish Microsoft would allow him to create a whole library of asp.NET videos for us.

At the end of the video Chris neds up with an unwanted dependancy. You do not want classes having to know or depend on the internal names of controls in other classes.

This can be easily eradicated by having the masterpage implementing an interface that exposes the dropdown list.

The BasePage can then cast the masterpage to this interface, and if the cast is successful, use the property exposed to get a handle to the DropDownList.

In addition, Chris did not mention that the (default) theme can be set in Web.config, as an attribute to the pages element.
