how to use adrotator

[Britney]

Hi, I dragged adrotator from toolbox to the page, then I saved a xml file
(ad.xml) using following content,

<advertisements>
<Ad>
<ImageUrl>1.JPG</ImageUrl>
<NavigateUrl>http://localhost/webproject2</NavigateUrl>
<AlternateText> Home</AlternateText>
<Impressions>80</Impressions>
<Keyword>Topic1</Keyword>
</Ad>
</advertisements>


under property, I mapped advertisementfile to ad.xml, but when I compile
and run, I got an error
Do you have any ideas what I did wrong?

Server Error in '/WebProject2' Application.

Is the encoding of the xml file right (UTF-8).
To check the xml file for errors simply open it with IE. If it shows up
till the end, the xml is fine. If so... is the path to the xml file correct?

I see, do advertisements with a capital A.
That's how MSDN tells us to do it.
