i have a corner of my site that i would like to set a slideshow of a bunch of pictures and have it fade-in/fade-out all the pictures and keep repeating.

what i want to know is if there is a way in asp.net to do this automatically, so all the pictures in a specific folder would rotate through. i have edited all the pictures to be the same size (130 x 95), and i want it to stay on each picture for 2 seconds. the fading isn't terribly important, i suppose, i would just prefer not to manually do this in flash since there are about 60 pictures, and i will be adding to it often.

thanks in advance

Flash would be the best thing to do. You shouldn't have to edit the flash as long as you keep the same number of pictures and when you add a new picture just name it the same as one of the old pictures.

You could probably do it with ASP but it would not be as visually appealing. Here's one (http://www.codeproject.com/Ajax/ASPNETSlideShow.asp?df=100&forumid=286545&exp=0&select=1500616) that I found that uses ASP and AJAX.

mairving,

i got it working using Javascript. it doesn't fade, but that wasn't terribly important. i needed the ability to add more and more files to it (without subtracting any in the process), so i just have an array and can add to it as necessary

thanks
