Using the <i class="emphasis">AdRotator</i> Class

Using the AdRotator Class

You use the ad rotator control to display an advertisement banner in a Web page. This control is supported with the AdRotator class, and here is the inheritance hierarchy of that class:

Object
   Control
      WebControl
         AdRotator

You can find the notable public properties of AdRotator objects in Table 18.14 and their events in Table 18.15. (This class has no non-inherited methods.) Note that as with other Web server controls, I am not listing the notable properties, methods, and events this class inherits from the Control and WebControl classes—you can find them in Chapter 15, Tables 15.1 to 15.5.
