I added a telerik:RadTabStrip with multipageview option. Then under a pageview I added a Telerik Rotator control.
If I set static value it works fine, but, if I create a datatable in server side and try to bind it to datasource of the rotator control it does not display any data. The code I used -


ASPX Code:
<telerik:RadRotator ID="RadRotator1" runat="server" Width="900px" Skin="Black" EnableEmbeddedSkins="false"
                    CssClass="rotatorStyle" RotatorType="Buttons" ScrollDuration="500" >
                    <Items>
                        <telerik:RadRotatorItem>
                            <ItemTemplate>
                                <div class="RotatorItem">
                                    <h2><asp:Label ID="lblTitle" runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "title") %>'></asp:Label></h2>
                                    <div class="txt_placeholder">
                                        <asp:Label ID="lblShortDesc" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "desc")%>' runat="server"></asp:Label>
                                    </div>
                                    <div class="clear"></div>
                                </div>
                            </ItemTemplate>
                        </telerik:RadRotatorItem>
                        
                    </Items>
                </telerik:RadRotator>


Server Code:

DataTable dt = new DataTable();
                    dt.Columns.Add("title", typeof(string));
                    dt.Columns.Add("desc", typeof(string));

                    dt.Rows.Add("T1", "AAA");
                    dt.Rows.Add("T2", "BBB");
                    dt.Rows.Add("T3", "CCC");

                    RadRotator1.DataSource = dt.DefaultView;
                    
                    RadRotator1.DataBind();

Can someone please help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Pritam,

Try modifying your code as follows to add the items.

ASPX:
<telerik:RadRotator ID="RadRotator1" runat="server" Width="900px" CssClass="rotatorStyle" Skin="Black" EnableEmbeddedSkins="false" RotatorType="Buttons" ScrollDuration="500">
 <Items>
   <telerik:RadRotatorItem>
   </telerik:RadRotatorItem>
 </Items>
 <ItemTemplate>
   <div class="RotatorItem">
     <h2><asp:Label ID="lblTitle" runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "title") %>'></asp:Label></h2>
     <div class="txt_placeholder">
       <asp:Label ID="lblShortDesc" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "desc")%>' runat="server"></asp:Label>
     </div>
     <div class="clear">
     </div>
   </div>
 </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:RadRotator>

C#:
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("title", typeof(string));
dt.Columns.Add("desc", typeof(string));
dt.Rows.Add("T1", "AAA");
dt.Rows.Add("T2", "BBB");
dt.Rows.Add("T3", "CCC");
RadRotator1.DataSource = dt.DefaultView;
RadRotator1.DataBind();

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Princy.

Hi Qurat,

I would suggest checking whether:

 - the DataSet, used for databinding the RadRotator, is not empty;
 - the path to the images is correct;
 - the images are available in the specified folder;

The rotator in the online demo Image Gallery is databound in the code-behind as well and the image source is set declaratively. You can use it as a reference for configuring the rotator on your end.
