Rotator / Load On Demand

This demo shows how to use RadRotator with Load On Demand through a WebService. The rotator loads 50 items by making 10 requests which load 5 items each. New requests are not made when already loaded items should be shown again /e.g due to WrapFrames="true"/.

  • Load On Demand

    The RadRotator now supports Load On Demand functionality through a WebService. There is now a property, which determines the number of items that the request will return. This functionality is entirely controlled by the WebMethod and you can also return different number of items on each request.

    Important: Load On Demand is not supported, when RadRotator is set in carousel or coverflow mode.

    The web service should have the following signature: 
    	[ScriptService]
	public class WebServiceName : WebService
	{
		[WebMethod]
		public RadRotatorItemData[] GetRotatorData(int itemIndex)
	        {
		    List<RadRotatorItemData> result = new List<RadRotatorItemData>();
		    //.......
                    RadRotatorItemData item = new RadRotatorItemData();
                    item.Html = myCustomHtml;
                    result.Add(item);
                    //.......
                    return result.ToArray();
                }
	}


    where the HTML, which should be rendered in the item, is assigned to the Html property of the RadRotatorItemData object.
    There are two client events that are related to the Load On Demand functionlity:
    • OnClientItemsRequested - fired when the items are successfully loaded
    • OnClientItemsRequestFailed - fired when the request for loading items on demand fails. The arguments provide information about the error message and allow the developer to cancel the error alert and process the error otherwise.
