How Do I: Use the ASP.NET AJAX SlideShow Extender?

This video demonstrates how the SlideShow extender from the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit turns the standard ASP.NET Image control in to a fully-functional slide show. We also see how an ASP.NET Web service can return not only text and XML data but complete AJAX objects to be consumed by the ASP.NET AJAX Web application. Joe also comments on the benefits of storing images in the file system rather than the database.

This is a good sample. I have used it in my webbapplication.. Thanks

It would be greate if the pictures should be displayed in thumbnails... and if I want a specifik image to be displayed, I click on it.

The control doesn't do that but as mentioned in response to one of your other comments, since the control is open source you can modify the control to do whatever you need.

I think the C# version of the .zip file doesnt contain the web service.

Also, if you have the following error message when viewing the page on the browser "unknown web method getslides...", then you have to remove the static keyword from the GetSlides() function. After this change, it worked OK for me!

In any case, check the vb.net version that works fine
