FrameDuration property is not there

[jpchenot]

I am using a radrotator based on the principles of the stock market sample.

The problem is that it is not scriolling in continue. It displays all the items first, then once finished it restarts.

I'd like it to display non-stop, with no empty space.

Looking at the samples, it seems that the frameduration property does the trick, but for some reason it is not there.

Why?

Can anyone bother answering Telerik people?????

Hello Jean-Philippe,

Could you please open a new support ticket and send us a small sample project where we can examine your implementation? Once we have a better view over your exact case, we will do our best to help.

I'm having this same issue except i can see the frameduration property. I've been playing around with the control for a while but can't seem to figure out why its restarting. The asp code is at top as the server side is below.

                    <telerik:RadRotator ScrollDirection="Left" FrameDuration="0"
                        Width="352px" Height="24px" ScrollDuration="3000" ID="RadRotator1"
                        runat="server">
                <Items>
                    <telerik:RadRotatorItem>
                        <ItemTemplate>
                            <asp:Label ID="lbl" runat="server" Text="Label">
                             </asp:Label>
                        </ItemTemplate>
                    </telerik:RadRotatorItem>
                    </Items>
                    </telerik:RadRotator>

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

        Dim rd1 As SqlClient.SqlDataReader = Data.SqlHelper.ExecuteReader(ConnString, "dbo.Top5ClosedTickets")


        Dim lbl As Label
        lbl = RadRotator1.Controls(0).Controls(1)
        Dim stringlist As List(Of String) = New List(Of String)
        Dim outputstring As String = String.Empty

        While rd1.Read
            Dim MsgStor As New TickerData
            stringlist.Add(rd1.GetInt32(0) & " of " & rd1.GetString(1))
        End While
        TD.Message = (String.Join(vbCrLf, stringlist.ToArray))

        rd1.Close()

        RotatorDS.DataBind()
        RadRotator1.DataBind()
        lbl.Text = TD.Message

Heres a video of what its doing

Hello Ben,

Basically the RadRotator control has been designed to rotate more than one item.  In your case you have loaded only one item in the rotator control - а string content. When this item is shown the RadRotator does not restart - it  just continues showing this item.

As an alternative of your approach for data binding I suggest you to use the approaches described in this help page. Additionally you should set the appropriate values for the Height, ItemHeight, Width, ItemWidth properties.

I hope this helps.


All the best,

See i made an attempt at that route but it seemed as though it didn't bind. After having it setup just like the example it still doesn't seem to work. Maybe you may see something i don't?

Just to give you an idea as to why i'm doing what i'm doing is because i have several different querys i want to return data in almost 1 string. I had setup the class to have all the different querys conatenated. I assume this should work correct?

Hello Ben,

I created a simple demo project based on the provided code and I made some changes in it. For your convenience I attached the working project to this thread so you can examine the changes in it.

I hope this helps.
