Description

AceGallery is a easy to use, file based, low cost, gallery component / control. To use it, simply drag and drop the component from the toolbox, give the input directory path, specify some basic properties and you are good to go!

  • No need to store information in xml files or database.
  • No need to handle any server side events or call methods.
  • Automatically creates thumbnails and preview images for all jpg files in the target directory.
  • Automatically detects new files created.
  • Supports JPG, GIF, TIFF and BMP formats. Can be filtered out based on extension.
  • Designer support gives instant feedback when styles and layout are changed.
  • Output JPEG quality can be changed to save bandwidth.
  • Inbuilt javascript for displaying preview image when thumbnail is clicked. Javascript file is automatically created and linked to the page saving time and trouble. 
  • Ability to control the link to the original image.
  • Option for creating thumbnails for every page load.
  • 4 different layout types in addition to thumbnail only view.
  • Selectable thumbnail column count, items per page and paging support.

  • Styling is completely CSS based for maximum control.

  • Since the complete output is table base, and javascript is contained in a seperate file, it is search engine friendly.
  • Low cost, starts from Only $39.99. Does not require developer license.

This is a very simple control to use. I wanted it to use to replace the companies DOTNETNUKE events portal. Using the ads license I was able to quickly replicate on my local machine the companies site. Now came the problem. In our control method , we develop new projects on the our local machine , then push out to development server, then once the marketing approves, we push it up to a live server. Once I purchased the license , I found out that the control will only work in licensed mode on the live server, SO I could either show it to marketing in testmode, with test on the thumbnails and very slow, or in ad mode with ads on the page, and try to assure them that it would work on the live server correctly, didn't even try. I will probably end up using the control on my personal site, since I paid for a license, but for the company it turned out useless, very upsetting, given the time I put into recreating the site.
