    Meet the RadRotator’s Cousin, the RadTicker for ASP.NET AJAX

    I recently posted an in-depth look at the RadRotator for ASP.NET AJAX. I feel it appropriate to follow-up that post with a discussion about another oft-overlooked control in Telerik’s ASP.NET AJAX suite, the RadTicker. The RadTicker is closely related to the RadRotator for ASP.NET AJAX, but boasts its own unique functionality. Whereas the RadRotator is best suited for richer content, such as images and HTML markup, the RadTicker is designed specifically to display text.

    Paying Homage to the RadRotator for ASP.NET

    The RadRotator is a control that is easily overlooked in the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX suite.

I’d like to take some time to show you what we have done to make the RadRotator a control that makes it easy for you, dear developer, to add rich functionality to your web applications.
