It would be greate if the pictures should be displayed in thumbnails... and if I want a specifik image to be displayed, I click on it.

This video is good. But I would like to display the pictures in thumbnails and when I click on a picture the picture should be displayed

Also, if you have the following error message when viewing the page on the browser "unknown web method getslides...", then you have to remove the static keyword from the GetSlides() function. After this change, it worked OK for me!

In any case, check the vb.net version that works fine

Any ideas?  I'm not having any luck figuring this out anywhere on the interweb.

Thanks!

Replace the Toolkit assembly in the Bin directory with the correct version and the code should run fine.

HTH !

This one works great using the script C# as you have it set in solution instead of a web service.  I then went to try to do it using the web service like you built in the video and could not bring up the photos.  I'm setting the SlideShowServicePath="SlidesService.asmx" and the project builds clean, but still no luck.  Any Ideas??

I hope you still monitor this. First of all a great video. I remember programming using ASP, then ASP.NET 1.0. Then I stopped development for some time. Coming back to the web development now, the progress has been revolutionary. These things were almost unthinkable back then. I would like to know whether there is any possibility to display pictures and also play videos based on the contents of a particular directory. I think this is not possible with this control but is there any other alternative. Thanks a lot and keep up the great work.

I've watched you video and downloaded the codes, but when I try to type the code, the application complains about "<ajaxToolKit:ToolKitScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />" tag to be invalid. I am trying to incorporate this new technique into my existing asp.net website. Am I missing something?

Thanks

Could you please tell how I can get the slideshow working under VS 2008. I downloaded C# code and it does work under VS 2005. Under VS 2008 the image is not displayed and the buttons don't work.

Thanks,

Hiren

MySlides(0) = New AjaxControlToolkit.Slide("images/Blue hills.jpg", "Blue Hills", "Go Blue")

My folder setup is exactly like the above, but on the live server no images appear. Any ideas?

Joe, Nice work because I am new to Ajax...

Something like GetSlides(byVal value as String)?

I've tried but unfortunately it can't proceed
