This news rotator control gives us the possibility of displaying several news stories within the same area of the web page. News is taken apart to several pages in order to place in a specified area. Each page also contains a couple of news items. By clicking on the page number at the bottom, it is possible to navigate between different pages and also by clicking on each news item of the page, it is possible to see its details. The stories slide into view. It also provides the auto next (slide show) feature, and transition styles.

I, like many of you, have had a need from time to time to create a postback in ASP.NET using JavaScript. When I searched for a solution online, I found many posts advocating the use of __doPostBack, Microsoft's JavaScript function created to post back to the server.

2. It skips client-side validation by the ASP.NET validators.
3. It doesn't work with UpdatePanels in ASP.NET AJAX.
