I am trying to bind a rotator control to an xml document (type=System.Xml.XmlDocument) returned by a method using the rotator’s datasource property:

RadRotator1.DataSource = object.GetXML()
RadRotator1.DataBind()

This is xml returned by the above method:

<Participants>
   <Participant>
       <FullName>John Smith</FullName>
       <PayAmount>4611.00</PayAmount>
   </Participant>
</Participants>

And this is the rotator:

                <telerik:RadRotator ID="RadRotator1" runat="server" RotatorType="AutomaticAdvance" FrameDuration="4000" ScrollDirection="Down" ScrollDuration="500" Height="120px" Width="300px">
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <div>
                            <div><%# XPath("FullName") %></div>
                            <div><%# XPath("PayAmount") %></div>
                        </div>
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </telerik:RadRotator>

The code runs fine, but nothing displays on the page. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Ivan,

The RadRotator control uses the standard DataBind mechanism and the problem that you experience is not directly related to RadRotator control. This mean that you will experience the same problem using a standard asp:Repeater (for example) as well. For your convenience, however, I have implemented the solution in a demo and attached it to the thread.

I hope this helps.

Hi Carlos,

As long as the new (<HyperLink>) node is a child to the <Participant/> node, there is no difference where it will be placed. I modified the XML file in the following way:

<Participant>

<FullName>John Smith</FullName>

<PayAmount>4611.00</PayAmount>

<HyperLink>http://www.google.com/search?q=John<;/HyperLink>

</Participant>

And here is the modified source code of the project:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="telerik" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head id="Head1" runat="server">

<title></title>

</head>

<body>

<form id="form1" runat="server">

<telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server">

</telerik:RadScriptManager>

<div>

<telerik:RadRotator ID="RadRotator1" runat="server" RotatorType="AutomaticAdvance"

FrameDuration="4000" ScrollDirection="Down" ScrollDuration="500" Height="120px"

ItemHeight="120" Width="300px" ItemWidth="300">

<ItemTemplate>

<div>

<a href='<%# XPath("HyperLink") %>'>

<%# XPath("FullName") %></a></div>

<div>

<%# XPath("PayAmount") %></div>

</div>

</ItemTemplate>

</telerik:RadRotator>

</div>

</form>

</body>

</html>
