First you have to learn XML and HTML to work with ASP .NET_
I have used <!– text –> to make the text as
comment this is the way to make comment in this code …
This is the Source Code window and in this page you will se this code…
<%@ Page Language=”C#”
AutoEventWireup=”true” CodeFile=”Default.aspx.cs” Inherits=”_Default”
%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN”
“http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”>
<html xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”>
<head runat=”server”>
<title>Type your webpage title here</title>
<!– Here you can specify your page title in between title tag
</head>
<body>
<form id=”form1? runat=”server”>
<div>
<!– In between div tags you can manage your web controls like buttons,
labels, picture
Box, ImageMap etc –>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
See here is a tab named Design in the bottom of this page
5- Click on this tab and you will see a blank web page where you can drag
any control from the toolbox (which is in the left side of this window)
Open
Web.config file and write true in place of false, See
<compilation debug="true">
6- Drag a AdRotator Control in the design window or in the source window…
(If you are not able to see the AdRotator control in Toolbox then just type
this code
<asp:AdRotator ID=”AdRotator1” runat=”server”
DataSourceID=”XMLDataSource1”/>
7-Now the source window should be look like this :
<%@ Page Language="C#"
AutoEventWireup="true"
CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC
"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title>AdRotator Control Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<br />
<asp:AdRotator
ID="AdRotator2" runat="server"
DataSourceID="XmlDataSource1" />
8- Now go to solution explorer and right click on the web site and choose Add New Item
and add a .xml extension file .
9- Now type this code in the .xml extension file
First of all you have to paste three images
named (google.jpg,yahoo.jpg,msn.jpg) in App_Data folder which is in solution
explorer…
