VISUAL BASIC PROGRAMMING SKILLS
Slideshow Example
This example demonstrates the use of VB.Net, ASP.Net and the AJAX Slideshow control
– to display some of the beautiful paintings of Water Lilies by the French
impressionist painter Claude Monet (1840 - 1926).
Each image is displayed for 5 seconds, and then the whole sequence repeated. A Slideshow
is an eye-catching way to display Company products, houses, restaurants or holiday
resorts.
The series of images may be shown in the Slideshow as thumbnails. A click and the
full size can be shown.
Technical Details
Large images can be slow to download. AJAX solves this problem.
AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript And XML) is used to create interactive web applications.
With AJAX, the Website can retrieve data from the server asynchronously in the background
using a Web Service – without disturbing the display of the current page.
