Ajax Control Toolkit Rating

Modified on 2010/04/16 01:00 by Stephen Walther — Categorized as: Uncategorized

The Rating control provides an intuitive rating experience that allows users to select the number of stars that represents their rating. The page designer can specify the initial rating, the maximum rating to allow, the alignment and direction of the stars, and custom styles for the different states a star can have. Rating also supports a ClientCallBack event that allows custom code to run after the user has rated something.
