VB.NET PROGRAMMING SKILLS
Slideshow Example
This example demonstrates the use of the AJAX Slideshow control, to display some of the beautiful paintings
of Water Lilies by the 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 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.
