Thanks for the info guys. I have chosen to use the Ajax Slide Show control.

I have one more question. In ASP, what is the best way to get a list of files from a directory? This is how I am doing it currently:

(Toggle Plain Text)

string directory = "c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/MyWebsite/test_images/";
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(directory);
foreach (FileInfo oFile in di.GetFiles())
{
	string fileName = oFile.Namel
	// ...
}

The problem with this is that it is relying on the filesystem and I do not know how the hosting provider will have their server setup. Is there a way where I can search the IIS virtual directory and just pass in "~/test_images" as the directory string?
