In this article I will explain how to implement Image Slider from database using the jQuery jCarousel plugin in ASP.Net.

HTML Markup
The jQuery jCarousel makes use of HTML UL and LI tags to create the carousel image gallery. Here I am using the ASP.Net Repeater control to populate the LI Tags dynamically in UL based on the values from the database.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.jsdelivr.net/jcarousel/0.2.8/jquery.jcarousel.min.js"></script>
<link href="http://cdn.jsdelivr.net/jcarousel/0.2.8/skins/tango/skin.css" rel="Stylesheet" />
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$('#mycarousel').jcarousel();
});
</script>
<ul id="mycarousel" class="jcarousel-skin-tango">
<asp:Repeater ID="rptImages" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<li>
<img alt="" style='height: 75px; width: 75px' src='<%# Eval("ImageUrl") %>' />
</li>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
</ul>

Populating the ASP.Net Repeater Control using DataTable
In the below code I am making use of DataTable with dummy rows to bind list of images to the Repeater Control. You can populate the DataTable from the Database too.
C#
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.AddRange(new DataColumn[1] { new DataColumn("ImageUrl") });
dt.Rows.Add("http://static.flickr.com/66/199481236_dc98b5abb3_s.jpg");
dt.Rows.Add("http://static.flickr.com/75/199481072_b4a0d09597_s.jpg");
dt.Rows.Add("http://static.flickr.com/57/199481087_33ae73a8de_s.jpg");
dt.Rows.Add("http://static.flickr.com/77/199481108_4359e6b971_s.jpg");
dt.Rows.Add("http://static.flickr.com/58/199481143_3c148d9dd3_s.jpg");
dt.Rows.Add("http://static.flickr.com/72/199481203_ad4cdcf109_s.jpg");
dt.Rows.Add("http://static.flickr.com/58/199481218_264ce20da0_s.jpg");
dt.Rows.Add("http://static.flickr.com/69/199481255_fdfe885f87_s.jpg");
dt.Rows.Add("http://static.flickr.com/60/199480111_87d4cb3e38_s.jpg");
dt.Rows.Add("http://static.flickr.com/70/229228324_08223b70fa_s.jpg");
rptImages.DataSource = dt;
rptImages.DataBind();
}
