Rotator

Web Services asked on 20 Feb 2012, 07:57 PM

I have a rotator like so, that I bind in my code behind

<telerik:RadRotator ID="RadRotator1" runat="server" RotatorType="AutomaticAdvance" FrameDuration="5000" Width="600px"

ItemWidth="600px" Height="445px" ItemHeight="445px" ScrollDirection="Left,Right"

BorderColor="Black" BorderStyle="Groove" BorderWidth="2px">

<ItemTemplate>

<asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%# Eval("fileName") %>' Width="600px"

Height="445px" />

</ItemTemplate>

<SlideShowAnimation Type="Fade"></SlideShowAnimation>

</telerik:RadRotator>

I have some text boxes that do a post back. Whenever I do a post back, the rotator gets reset back to the first slide. I'm assuming I'll have to save whatever slide is current and set that, i just don't know how. Can you help me out with this?

Unfortunately, that code doesn't work for me as I am dynamically binding this. I tried it out, but I just get this error. Any ideas? here's my code.

Is there any way to fire an event on the server side when the rotator item changes?

RadRotatorPersistCurrentItem.zip

Hello,

I created a sample page that uses the index persisting logic and the dynamic rebinding from your code sample and I modified a bit the client-side event handler OnItemShown in order to optimize it, but I wasn't able to encounter any problems with setting the index of the current RadRotator item. What is the exact error message that you have received and what is the exact behavior of problem? Please find attached my test sample and compare it with your actual project, so that you can check if I have missed something in my recreation.

I noticed that you are rebinding the RadRotator control with records from a database on a particular event. Note that the items that are populated in the controls may be fewer than before it is rebound and as a result the InitialItemIndex property of RadRotator will be set with index that references a non-existent element. You can add the following code after rebinding the RadRotator in order to ensure that the initial item index will always match an item from the control's Items collection:

if (RadRotator1.InitialItemIndex >= RadRotator1.Items.Count)

{

RadRotator1.InitialItemIndex = RadRotator1.Items.Count - 1;

}

If you are still having difficulties after examining the information provided above, please describe in detail the changes that should be made to the attached sample in order to reproduce the problem at hand. A fully runnable, simple page that isolates the issue will also be useful for examining your case and suggesting an according solution.
