I have a xml data source linked to an xml file with contents for 8 images. The rotator always stops at the 2nd last image.
My setting are:

Type: AutoAdvance
Direction: Left
FrameDuration= 8000
and ScrollDuration=500

                            <ItemTemplate>
                                <asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%# XPath("ImageUrl") %>' ToolTip='<%# XPath("AlternateText") %>'/>
                            </ItemTemplate>

XML File:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Ads>
<ad>
    <ImageUrl>~/Images/ad1.gif</ImageUrl>
    <AlternateText>1st Ad</AlternateText>
    <Keyword>1st Ad</Keyword>
</ad>
<ad>
    <ImageUrl>~/Images/ad2.gif</ImageUrl>
    <AlternateText>2nd Ad</AlternateText>
    <Keyword>2nd Ad</Keyword>
    <Impressions>50</Impressions>
</ad>
....
....
...
</Ads>

Please help!

Thanks,
Sayak

Hi Sayak,

I was not able to reproduce the problem by using your setup. Here is the test setup that I used:

Content of XML file :

    
            <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> 
        
            <Ads> 
        
               <ad> 
        
                  <ImageUrl>~/Images/image1.jpg</ImageUrl> 
        
                  <AlternateText>1st Ad</AlternateText> 
        
                  <Keyword>1st Ad</Keyword> 
        
               </ad> 
        
               <ad> 
        
                  <ImageUrl>~/Images/image2.jpg</ImageUrl> 
        
                  <AlternateText>2nd Ad</AlternateText> 
        
                  <Keyword>2nd Ad</Keyword> 
        
                  <Impressions>50</Impressions>

You can examine the code above and if you still cannot get the RadRotator control to work properly please open a support ticket and send us a simple project that reproduce the problem. We will do our best to help.
