extreme basics: area

Hey everyone,

I am developing an online store application. I got stuck in one thing, which is how to build an ad area in the home page. For example: if you go to amazon.com you will see in top or in the side an area with let say 20 different ads (Dell,Microsoft,cingular, Sears, TJMAX,etc …..)For different companies. Each ad will appear randomly every 5 seconds. What is the best and most efficient way to accomplish such thing? And would you please provide me with an example!. Also can I have flash ad integrated in my VS2005 application? I am using ASP.Net 2.0

Your input will be truly appreciated!

i am going out on a limb here, because i have yet to really experiment with this. so i cannot testify to its usefulness nor can i provide any examples, but this may be what you are looking for. throw this link into your browser and check it out:

ms-help://MS.VSExpressCC.v80/MS.NETFramework.v20.en/dv_vwdcon/html/a307f03e-6bbd-4ec3-96ef-5b7188ba5eb9.htm

but, i came across this one day and marked it in my fav's to get back to once i am finished with the project i am currently on. hope it helps, and if it does, let me know.

thanks and good luck

Hope above will be helpful.

Google out about the ASP.NET 2.0 AdRotator control. Its XML based & easy to implement & handle.

I guess using Ad Rotator will be the best option.

However, you will get a new ad on after the page gets refreshed. Basically it will get ad from either an XML file (if u wish to have static list and can edit it manually) else ads can come from DB. You can have a small screen to add Ads.
