What's New in version 2.0

• XHTML Compliance - RadRotator provides XHTML compliance depending on the content of the HTML structure in the FrameTemplate. If the content in RadRotator's FrameTemplate is XHTML is compliant, then the output of the rotator is XHTML 1.1 content compliant.
  
  
• Accessibility - Section 508 - RadRotator provides Level AA compliant output.
  
  
• Data Binding - RadRotator fully supports native .NET connectivity with various data sources. You can bind an instance of RadRotator to any one of the following data sources:
  

  1- Ienumerable(Array, ArrayList, Queue, Stack, etc.)

  2- IListSource(DataSets, DataTables and DataViews)

  3- Static XML file

  4- Live XML data source

  In order to bind an instance of RadRotator to some data source, all you need is to create an object (for example an IListSource) to hold the data you want bind to the rotator and set the DataSource property as well as the DataBind() method.
  
  
• Client-Side API - RadRotator offers client-side API which allows the developer to create rotators with rich functionality, whose behaviors can be easily manipulated at client-side. For example you can specify whether scrolling or slideshows should pause when the mouse hovers over the control. You can also readily adjust the speeds of scrolling and smooth-scrolling.
  
  The RadRotator class provides eight functions: StartRotator, StopRotator, ShowPrevFrame, ShowNextFrame, ScrollUpNextFrame, ScrollDownNextFrame, ScrollLeftNextFrame and ScrollRightNextFrame you can use to manipulate the state of the rotator.
  
  
• RadRotator now supports relative sizes. The width and Heigh can be specified in percentage as well.
  
  
• Client-Side Events - RadRotator provides two client-side events: OnClientFrameChanging and OnClientFrameChanged which allow the developer to control the behavior of the rotator from client-side.
  

  The OnClientFrameChanging event is used to control the behavior of the frame. It fires whenever a frame of RadRotator is about to change. However if the user returns false in the event handler, the frame will not change. On the other hand the OnClientFrameChanged event fires after the frame is changed.
  

  
  
• Server-Side Events - RadRotator implements postback event used to control the behavior of the rotator at runtime. The property "PostBack" instructs RadRotator to send a postback event with the respective item instance to the server, and the custom code can handle the event as needed - for example whenever the user clicks on the mouse.
  
  
• Transition Effects - you can easily specify the transition type and effects. Transition can be specified as either scrolling or sliding; and you can specify the order of the transition to be either random or follow a predefined pattern.
  For scrolling items you have to set the TransitionType property to either slide or scroll. There are three properties: ScrollDirection, ScrollSpeed and SmoothScroll used for specifying the transition effects.
  
  
• IE DXTransformFilter - RadRotator provides a single IE filter allowing the developer to easily create fancy transition effects such as fading, pixelate, etc.
  
  
• Tickers and Ticklines - you can place unlimited number of tickers in a rotator as well as unlimited number of ticklines in a ticker.
