RAD rotator issue -not scrolling on single Item bind

[saravanan k]

Currenlty my Rad rotator configuration is like:

 

<telerik:RadRotator RotatorType="AutomaticAdvance" Skin="Windows7" ID="rotator1"
runat="server" Height="253px" Width="500px" WrapFrames="true" ItemWidth="98%"
ItemHeight="45px" ScrollDirection="Up">  <ItemTemplate>     <div class="feed"><%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem) %></div>

And the CSS class is

.feed
{
 overflow: auto;
 width: 100%;
 height: 100%;
 color: #4f6b72;
 background-position: center;
}

 

I am binding the Rotator to a datasource at the backend.

Problem is if the bind has only 1 data.The scrolling is not happening.And if I include more items to the rotator,the scroll is happening?

Is this some default behavior with RAD rotator?

Hi Saravanan

This is behavior is by design when the control is configured with TotatorType=AutomaticAdvance or SlideShow. In these cases the behavior that you experience is the expected one.

In addition, I do not recommend using relative values in the configuration of the RadRotator control,. By design, RadRotator supports only fixed values.

More information about how to configure RadRotator control can be read  in this help article.

                                                                <FrameTemplate>
                                                                    <div style="text-align: center">
                                                                     <asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%# XPath("ImageURL") %>' AlternateText="IMAGE"
                    CustomIDProperty='<%# XPath("id") %>' class="RotatorImage" onclick='showCallbackImage(this)' />
                                                                    </div>
                                                                </FrameTemplate>
                                                            </radr:RadRotator>

Hello Rupesh,

From the code snippet that you have provided and the linked project, I am assuming that you are still using the Classic RadControls for ASP.NET. My suggestion is to upgrade them to the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX via the approach, described in the following articles:
 - Migration from RadWindow for ASP.NET ("Classic") to RadWindow for ASP.NET AJAX.
 - Migrating From RadDock ASP.NET To ASP.NET AJAX.
Note that these resources are related to other RadControls, but the principle is the same.
Also, you may refer to the help article Upgrading RadControls Trial to RadControls Developer license or newer version in order to upgrade to the latest version of the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX.

As for rebinding the RadRotator on a click of a particular button, I recommend the online demo Rotator / Image Gallery. The difference is that in your case, in the method  RebindRotator you will have to set your XMLDataSource as a DataSource for the RadRotator, instead of a DataTable.

I hope that helps.
