AJAX SlideShowExtender Control
This article demonstrates how to use AJAX SlideShowExtender control in ASP.NET applications.
AJAX Slideshow extender control is used to display more then one images in the form of Powerpoint slide show style. AJAX SlideShow extender takes the ID of image control to display the images in it according to the time interval fixed for it. You can also specify the auto start event to change the images in SlideShow extender when the page loads. Also you can enable the loop to run the SlideShow in continuous manner that loads the first image again after displaying the last image and plays the SlideShow repeatedly.
Example:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="SlideShow.aspx.cs" Inherits="SlideShow" %>
<%@ Register Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" TagPrefix="ajaxToolkit" %>
