In this video we will learn about using the asp.net adrotator control. Adrotator control is used to display random ads. The ads information can be stored in an xml file or in a database table. In this video we will discuss about using an XML file.
XML file attributes
ImageUrl - The URL of the image to display
NavigateUrl - The URL to navigate to, when the ad is clicked
AlternateText - The text to use if the image is missing
Keyword - Used by the adrotator control to filter ads
Impressions - A numeric value (a weighting number) that indicates the likelihood of how often the ad is displayed.
Create an asp.net web application project, and add an XML file. Name the XML file as AdsData.xml. Copy and paste the following in the XML file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

Create an Images folder in the project, and add the following images.
Drag and Drop the AdRotator control on the webform. Set AdvertisementFile="~/AdsData.xml".
<asp:AdRotator AdvertisementFile="~/AdsData.xml" ID="AdRotator1" runat="server" />
To open the target web page in a separate browser window, set Target="_blank"
Use KeyWord attribute to filter ads.
The KeywordFilter and AdvertisementFile properties can be changed at runtime also. Changing the KeywordFilter at runtime could be very useful. For example, when the AdRotator control is on a master page, and if you want to change the KeywordFilter on each content page based on the keyword density, so that, only the ads targeting the page content can be displayed. More on this, when we discuss about master pages in a later video session.
