AlbumOnNet is a set of WebControls and .NET classes suitable for creating Online Photo Albums, Slideshows and AdRotators.

FREE for personal use w/Adlinks.

The controls are created server side just as any standard ASP.NET WebControl. They will as default run client side in the browser using DHTML techniques, thus minimizing screen flickering and enhance the user experience of the dynamic web page. The controls can also be run server side, i.e. using Postback if that is a requirement. For a client side run, the ViewState of the controls (or of the Page) can be disabled and in this way reduce the overall size of the Html code.

AlbumOnNet can create Thumbnail files and is capable of extracting useful information from the image files, including EXIF codes (Typically used by Digital Cameras). The information is stored in an editable XML file representing a standard .NET DataSet.

All properties and settings for the controls are available in Visual Studio / WebMatrix design mode. It is possible to hand code the properties in a text editor, but the controls are optimized for the designer as you will get immediate feedback on the properties you set, without having to go to the browser and refresh the page.

The programmer has full control on the look and feel of the result. All the WebControls follow the standard ASP.NET guidelines, making it a joy and breeze to customize the design.

The Album can be displayed as a Table (Grid) or as a horizontal or vertical Filmstrip. It can be made pageable (server side), thus allowing for a large number of images in a single album.

The DataSource (i.e the Images) for the Album control is normally set by specifying an image folder location on the web server. Advanced utilization of the Album allows the programmer to use their own DataSource.

The DataSource for a SlideShow can be either an image folder location on the web server, a connection to an Album control or manually set in a Slide collection.
