Image with text fields

[Claude]

I have a background image that will be the same for all items, but I want 3 lines of text in front of the image that will vary for each item.  The text will be coing from a database.   

I cannot figure out which type of item I should use and how to bind the 3 text fields.  I am using VB on this one.

Hi Claude,

Thanks for writing.

After setting the background image, in order to put the text you can use RadLabel element (or RadButtonElement). Make sure that TextWrap property is set to true and set a MaxSize at your discretion in order to have the text on a few lines.

Concerning the process of binding the text of the elements to a database, please take a look at this article. Basically, you should use the following approach:

Sub radCarousel1_ItemDataBound(sender as object, e as ItemDataBoundEventArgs )
Dim textFromDataBase as string = ....(extract text from e)

me.radLabel1.Text = textFromDataBase
me.radLabel1.Image = myImage
me.radLabel1.TextImageRelation = TextImageRelation.Overlay


For each item simply use the above approach to set the text. 

I hope you find this information helpful. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Interesting code. Thanks.

But my question is some Harder:
Does anybody read or heard about any opportunities to make own "Elemets" for RadCarousel?  It is neccessary for my current work.

Thx
