Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible, or if anybody can get me in a right start, to program those avertisements that pop up on a web page in .NET. I thought maybe you could use the drawing library or the GDI+ library to do it, but I'm not familiar with the graphics libraries.

Thanks,

Brian Mains

What exactly are you trying to do? If you want popups, all you need is to send some JavaScript to the browser that request a new page with an ad in a new window.

Why do you think you need the GDI+ Library?

Cheers,

I'm not talking a new window, I'm talking the advertisements that pop up right on the page itself. Like yahoo does where something goes accross the screen, or some advertisement pops up.

Well, that's basically the same. Using ASP.NET does not add .NET capabilities to the end results of your pages. In the end, all you're sending from the server to the client is HTML, JavaScript, images etc. No fancy stuff like GDI+ can be done directly in the browser.

Take a look at the pages that have these behaviors. Yahoo is a good example, and so is Amazon. If you look at the source, you'll see some DHTML techniques, basically a mix of HTML elements and JavaScript. All this can be done by sending client-side JavaScript to the browser.

OK, thank you Imar.

Also, the more complicated (and animated) ads are done with flash. Flash can make things fly around in the browser as well.
