WebImageViewer™ is an ASP.NET AJAX control allowing you to easily add image display and browsing capabilities to their Web applications. Images appear in an image strip that can be oriented horizontally or vertically, and can be scrolled or dragged by the user with smooth animation behavior while the image strip makes the transition. WebImageViewer has uses both in basic image gallery scenarios, as well as for image- and icon-based navigation scenarios. WebImageViewer can set your application apart from the normal toolbar control with it's smooth scrolling capability.

 

Key Features at a Glance:

  • Image Orientation - The list of images can be oriented horizontally (across) or vertically (up/down).
  • Smooth Scrolling Animation - Custom configurable animation behavior determines how images are animated when scrolled, and you can scroll through the images one page at a time, one image at a time, or use a continuous smooth scrolling effect.
  • Data Binding - The WebImageViewer can be data bound to a custom data model that has the file path to use for accessing the images, their target URLs for when they are clicked, and the tool tip text that should be displayed on mouse over.
  • Navigation - When you need visually-appealing, image-driven navigation in your Web application, you can use the WebImageViewer to expose resources to your end users. The resource content of your Target URLs can appear in the same page, within a named frame, or into a new window.
  • ASP.NET AJAX - Founded on the Microsoft® ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions 1.0 and new ASP.NET 3.5 platform, ASP.NET AJAX controls like WebImageViewer enable teams to capitalize on native AJAX capabilities and script the control on the client-side.
