ASP.Net SlideShow

[mwazio]

I am making a slideshow that I want my friends to be able to view.
Right now I have created an aspx page which does this fine that has 5
thumbnails at the top, a previous and next button, a drop down menu to
jump to a certain image, and the main image itself. My question is
that I want to know how to automate the slideshow so that it advances
images every 3 seconds or so. I've been working on this for awhile but
cant quite get it right.

You could use a JavaScript timer to refresh or redirect the page every so
often:

Dart has a really nice AJAX-based timer control, but it may be overkill for
your situation.

Depending on your design, if its just a matter of refreshing the page you
could use this metatag to refresh every 3 seconds:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3">

I think using the Metatag sounds like a good option though, when I get
the page to refresh, it refreshes to the same "instance" of the aspx
page. I have a method called GetNext(), is there anyway I can pass
that as a URL parameter?

Im kind of new to this and any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could maybe store a counter or flag variable in session state. If it's

1 or true you'd call the GetNext() function from the Page_Load event. Just

an idea...
