Applying a skinid to a label using themes in asp.net

I was trying to apply a skin on runtime to a label using a skinid i created from a skin file. The theme folder is called skin1. The SkinID is called Error. When I try to Apply the Skin1 theme folder thru the Page_PreInt Method to the label using the skinid, Nothing seems to happen.

Code:

protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Session["Mytheme"] = "Skin1";
        lblMessage.SkinID = Session["Mytheme"].ToString();
    }

The Label in the Hmtl:

<asp:Label ID="lblMessage" runat="server" SkinID="Error"  Text="HELLO WORLD">
</asp:Label>

The Skin file in the theme folder:

<asp:Label runat="server" SkinID="Error" ForeColor="Red"/>

To skin just this one control you need to apply the theme, but turn it off at the page level and on at for the controls you wish to skin. E.g.

<%@ Page Theme="skin1" EnableTheming="false" %>

And then setting the skin id should be sufficient:

<asp:Label ID="lblMessage" runat="server" SkinID="Error" Text="HELLO WORLD" EnableTheming="true">
</asp:Label>

Or programmatically:

Page.EnableTheming = false;
Page.Theme = "skin1";
lblMessage.SkinID = "Error";
lblMessage.EnableTheming = true;
