Coding scrolling text with VS 2005/ASP.NET
I am working on an ASPX content page with an inline coding
to display some scrolling text from a SQL Server database.
I have tried to use StringBuilder and SqlDataReader to display
the scrolling text; but could not get it.
Any information on scrolling text for VS2005 is greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Jeffrey

I am unsure what you mean. Back in the day of HTML 3 we had the marquee tag that would let us scroll text across the screen, but the text had to be within the <marquee></marquee> tag of course. How exactly are you trying to do this?

These are server-side classes, how do you expect them to produce anything useful to a web page?

Thanks. In fact, I am updating a VS 6 ASP page with the marquee tags to display the scrolling text from a Stored Procedure of the SQL Server database. The claasic ASP file used a connection control to execute the Stored Procedure to create a rs(record set) for marguee tags.
Myabe,my question is: Is there an ASP.NET 2.0 control I can use to replace the record set for marguee tags? "StringBuilder and SqlDataReader" is my first guess. How about DataTable? How to run the Stored Procedure to create a DataTable for marguee? Is marguee tag still supported by ASP.NET 2.0?
TIA,
Jeffrey

Here is how the classic ASP coding utilized the marguee tags.
<%
sqlText = "getScrollingText" 'get stored procedure text
set rsScrollingText = conniTemp.Execute(sqlText)
'use connection object to get the record set
%>
<marguee......>
Response.write rsScrollingText("ScrollingText) 'get the text column
</marguee>
Because VS2005 does not support rs(record set), I tried using datareader and stringbuilder.
TIA,
Jeffrey
