Controls You Can Use on Web Forms ASP.NET Standard Controls AdRotator Control
You can create an ad list that serves as a schedule for the AdRotator control via an XML file . The following attributes can be included in the ad rotator schedule.
| Element |
Description |
<ImageUrl> |
The absolute or relative URL of the image file to display ( required ) . |
<NavigateUrl> |
The URL of the page to navigate to when the AdRotator is clicked ( required ) .
 NOTE: If this element is not set, no HRef property is generated on the anchor tag at run time; in effect, no hyperlink is specified for the ad.
|
<AlternateText> |
The text to display in place of the image when the image specified in ImageUrl is not accessible ( optional ) .
In some browsers, this text also appears as a ToolTip for the advertisement. |
<Keyword> |
A category for the advertisement ( for example, "computers" ) that can be used to filter for specific ads ( optional ) . |
<Impressions> |
A number that indicates the importance of the ad in the schedule of rotation relative to the other ads in the file ( optional ) . This value specifies the likelihood of how often the ad is displayed.
The larger the number, the more often the ad is displayed. The total of all <Impressions> values in the XML file may not exceed 2,048,000,000 - 1. |
Note that the XML file requires both an ImageURL and NavigateURL property; the rest of the ad schedule properties, though, are optional.
The below example shows the format for the XML advertisement file.
