Multiple Image Control

[Mike555]

I'm looking for an asp.net webform control which can display multiple images from either an xml or database source on the webform.

Here's a perfect example of what I need it to look like...

Notice the frame containing the tabs PHOTOS,VIDEO,PHOTO ESSAYS. Notice the multiple images that display when PHOTOS is selected.

Can anyone suggest a product which I can use to achieve this or a method to achieving this? Thanks.

That's fairly easy to create. Simply make a user control that contains a function to create image controls on the fly. Then, it's simply a case of dropping the control on the page and calling the function for each picture you want to display.

It sounds fairly easy when used in that context. Guess I just need to play around a bit and figure it out. Thanks.

I'm not even sure I'd go that far. Why not just use a DataList (or some other templated web control) with a repeat direction of horizontal. If the ItemTemplate contains a properly set up Image control, you can simply get some data to bind to it like:

photoDataList.DataSource = whatever;
photoDataList.DataBind();

That's definately a good alternative, however, I'd still be tempted to go with a user control that wrapped it all up as it can then be easily implemented on any page.
