RadTicker for ASP.NET AJAX offers the following properties:

Property	Type	Possible Values	Description
AutoStart	Bool	True, False	Specifies whether the ticker begins ticking automatically. You should leave this set to false if you are using the ticker within a RadTicker If you use the ticker independently and leave this setting to false you should use the client API call ticker_id.startTicker() to start it.
AutoAdvance	Bool	True, False	Specifies whether RadTicker will begin ticking the next tickerline (if any) after it has finished ticking the current one. If you set the AutoAdvance property to false, then you will have to use a client API Call ticker_id.tickNextLine()
Loop	Bool	TrueFalse	Specifies whether RadTicker will repeat the first tickerline after displaying the last one. If you set this property to true RadTicker will never finish ticking. This may have possible implications when having more than one RadTicker instance in a RadRotator . The way RadRotator works is that when the first ticker on a frame has finished ticking it will start ticking the next ticker on the frame. If a RadTicker instance is ticking (has Loop=true ), it will never finish and the next ticker on the frame will not get started.
TickSpeed	Int	Int values	Specifies the duration in milliseconds between ticking each character of a tickerline. The lower the value the faster a line will finish ticking. Default value is 20ms.
LineDuration	Int	Int values	Specifies in milliseconds the pause RadTicker makes before starting to tick the next line (if AutoAdvance=True ). Default value is 2000ms.
AutoPostBack	Bool	True, False	Gets or sets a value indicating whether a postback to the server automatically occurs when the user interacts with the control. Setting this property to true will make RadTicker postback to the server on item click.
DataTextField	String	String	A string that specifies the field of the data source that provides the value of the ticker lines. The default value is an empty string. Use the DataTextField property to specify the field of the data source (in most cases the name of the database column) which provides the values for the Text property of databound ticker items. The DataTextField property is taken into account only during data binding. If the DataTextField property is not set and your data source is not a list of strings, the RadTicker control will throw an exception.
