SliderShowExtender

SlideShow is an extender that targets image controls. You can provide it with buttons to hit previous, next and play. The Slideshow is to play automatically on rendering, allowing it to loop through the images in a round robin fashion and also set the interval for slide transitions. You can use a page method to supply images to the slide show or use a webservice.

Step 8 : Go to the Default.aspx[Source] option to write code.

Code

<title> my ajax application </title>
    <style type="text/css">
    body
    {
      margin:50px 0px; padding:0px;
      text-align:center;
      }
    .Image
    {
          width:475px;
          margin:0px auto;
          text-align:center;
          padding:20px;
          border:1px dashed gray;
          background-color:Silver;
      }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
    </asp:ScriptManager>
    <div class= "Image">
        <asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/raj/Chrysanthemum.jpg" Width="300px" />
        </div>
        <div>

        <asp:Button ID="Button3" runat="server" Text="Button" />
        </div>
        <asp:SlideShowExtender ID="SlideShowExtender1" runat="server" TargetControlID="Image1" AutoPlay="true" NextButtonID="Button1" PreviousButtonID="Button2" ImageDescriptionLabelID="Label1" SlideShowServiceMethod="Slides" PlayButtonID="Button3"
PlayButtonText="Play" Loop="true">
        </asp:SlideShowExtender>
    </form>

Step 9 : Go to the Default.aspx.cs file option to write code.

Code

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using AjaxControlToolkit;
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    }
    [System.Web.Services.WebMethod]
    [System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptMethod]
    public static AjaxControlToolkit.Slide[] Slides()
    {
        AjaxControlToolkit.Slide[] imgSlide = new AjaxControlToolkit.Slide[4];
        imgSlide[0] = new AjaxControlToolkit.Slide("~/raj/Hydrangeas.jpg", "Hydrangeas ","Hydrangeas");
        imgSlide[1] = new AjaxControlToolkit.Slide("~/raj/Jellyfish.jpg", "Jellyfish","Jellyfish " );
        imgSlide[2] = new AjaxControlToolkit.Slide("~/raj/Koala.jpg", "Koala", "Koala");
        imgSlide[3] = new AjaxControlToolkit.Slide("~/raj/Penguins.jpg", "Penguins","Penguins");
        return (imgSlide);
    }
}

Step 10 : Now we define the CSS.

Code
<style type="text/css">
    body
    {
      margin:50px 0px; padding:0px;
      text-align:center;
      }
    .Image
    {
          width:475px;
          margin:0px auto;
          text-align:center;
          padding:20px;
          border:1px dashed gray;
          background-color:Silver;
      }
    </style>
