Set the css class of a div using code behind [duplicate]

Question

I understand that we can set the various style attributes from code behind using :

divControl.Style("height") = "200px"

But how to set it's class instead of declaring each of the styles from code?

C#

divControl.Attributes["class"] = "myClass";

VB

divControl.Attributes("class") = "myClass"

You'll need to have a rule like this one on your css file

.myClass
{
   height:200px; 
   /*...more styles*/
}

Write that in VB.NET instead of C# and it'll be perfect.

@Andrew Morton: he states on the question that VB or C# is fine but thanks for the suggestion, added VB code.

This way you can define full style inline, without separate class declaration:

divControl.Attributes("style") = "height:200px; color:Red"

OP wants to set the class attribute of the div, not set styles individually.

Although the question specifically says that this is not the answer he is looking for, I gave it an up-vote because it helped me (google took me here when asking about the dynamic styles).

I found Yuriy's suggestion helpful for those situations where you need a one-time quick style fix dynamically.
