Does Telerik have, or does anyone know of a way to display a "book looking" viewer in ASP.net?
Like a flipbook of some sort? To display pdf's, etc.
Examples:
http://ecatalog.marykay.com/us_en-us/GetLatest.aspx?d=www.marykay.com&m=0&t=Look_Book
http://www.ismartlook.com/
http://magazine.powerblocktv.com/t/7978

Thanks,

Hi,

The ASP.NET AJAX suite does offer a book viewer control, with all the nice animations effects that appear when sliding through the pages. In the latest Q1 2014, however, we released a new image gallery control which allows to slide and preview images. This is some kind of alternative to the flash/Silverlight based book previewes.

Another option is to use the Telerik .NET Reporting Viewer, which supports ASP.NET, ASP.NET AJAX and ASP.NET MVC and can visualize PDF content. It does not support, however, thumbnails on the pages and animations.

Best regards,

Which control is it? I do not see one on the Demo page.

Hi,

Please, excuse me for my omission of "not". I meant that the ASP.NET AJAX AJAX suite does not offer the requested control.

By the way, are you aware of any ASP.NET AJAX book viewers that aren't Flash or Silverlight based? If yes, could you please provide a link to their demos site so that we can review them?

Thank you!

This is a follow-up:

By the way, you can also review the Silverlight based book reader control that Telerik offers:
