Is there a way to make the rotate cycle over a directory of .htm files and display them? I've tried a few things so far but haven't had any luck.

Hi Jon,
The RadRotator control has capability to display any HTML content and your scenario is covered by the control. Please note that you need to pass the data to the DataSource property of the control. Also I recommend you to check this online demo, that snows the control in action.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,

Fiko,
Thanks for your response, but I've already looked in the demos and not seen any example of rotating html files, I'm not trying to pass html content to the rotator, I want it to load up html files and display them in sequence the same way it rotates over a directory of images.

Hi Jon,
The RadRotator control cannot read or write to the file system. The control uses the standard databinding mechanism and requires a datasource control that will collect the dataitems and pass them to the RadRotator control. As alternative you can use the control's DataSource property and pass a list of items to it. Then you need to call DataBind() method of the control. In your case I recommend you to use the DataSource property of the control. For your convenience I have attached a demo to this thread. Please note that you need to implement the logic that will load the files from the directory and read their contents into the list that is passed as a datasource to RadRotator.
I hope this helps.
Sincerely yours,
