In Depth

In this chapter, we're going to take a look at validation controls, calendar controls, and ad rotators. You use validation controls to check data the user has entered into a Web page, calendar controls to let the user select dates, and ad rotators to display banner ads. (I can hear Internet purists exclaiming: not banner ads! But, yes indeed; that's exactly what ad rotators let you do—display advertising in your applications.)
