Get Images from DB into Carousel

[Manjot]

Hi I am developing an application where Image URLs are saved onto a SQL database (Local paths) The images are in a JPEG/PNG format. Would it be possible to get the Image URLs from the database and insert them into the carousel? If so please can I get some help on how to do so :)

Kind regards

Hello Manjot,

In this case, you should iterate through the image paths and create items with that image, then add these items to the RadCarousel.Items collection. Take a look at the following help article: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/carousel/getting-started

An example is demonstrated below:

public RadForm1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            CarouselEllipsePath path = new CarouselEllipsePath();
            path.Center = new Telerik.WinControls.UI.Point3D(50, 50, 0);
            path.FinalAngle = -100;
            path.InitialAngle = -90;
            path.U = new Telerik.WinControls.UI.Point3D(-20, -17, -50);
            path.V = new Telerik.WinControls.UI.Point3D(30, -25, -60);
            this.radCarousel1.CarouselPath = path;
            this.radCarousel1.VirtualMode = true;

            string[] filePaths = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\Users\nkaraiva\Desktop\png", "*.png", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly);

            foreach (string fileName in filePaths) 
            {
                LightVisualElement item = new LightVisualElement();
                item.Image = Image.FromFile(fileName);
                this.radCarousel1.Items.Add(item);
            }
        }

I hope this helps. If you have other questions do not hesitate to ask.
