The AdRotator control presents ad images that, when clicked, navigate to a new Web location. Each time the page is loaded into the browser, an ad is randomly selected from a predefined list. The rotation shedule of the adds is defined in a XML file.
The AdRotator control uses a separate XML advertisement file to store the advertisement information, such as the location of the image to display and the URL of the page to link to. The AdvertisementFile property of the AdRotator control specifies the path to this file.
When creating the advertisement file, opening and closing <Advertisements> tags mark the beginning and the end of the file, respectively. Opening and closing <Ad> tags delimit each advertisement. All advertisements are nested between the opening and closing <Advertisements> tags. If the file contains multiple <Advertisements> tags, only the first set of <Advertisements> tags in the file will be parsed by the AdRotator control. All other <Advertisements> tags will be ignored.
The data elements for each advertisement are nested between the opening and closing <Ad> tags. Although certain data elements are predefined (such as ImageUrl and NavigateUrl), you can place custom elements between the <Ad> tags. These elements will be read by the AdRotator control when it parses the file. The information is then passed to the AdCreated event in the AdProperties dictionary property.

I am using an adrotator in visual web developer on my master page and used an xml file for path of the images. the images are stored in a seperate folder. So when the project runs, the adrotator changes image randomly but the whole page is pushed back each time (refreshed). Is there anyway i can have the adrotator work on its own on the banner panel so that it doesn't affect the whole while displaying image randomly. Please help. (I am coding in C#). i learnt asp.net from the scratch using the videos available and they are the best. but didnt find anything on this. Thanks.

I suggest you use AJAX to load just the portion of the page you want the ad to refresh in. I also suggest using a Timer object to call the reload of the Content in the Ad Rotator. For the images in the XML file, use "~/images/" to access the images folder at the root of you application. Here is a sample of the ad rotator within AJAX Update Panel with the Timer Trigger. form id="form1" runat="server">
div>
asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />
asp:Timer ID="Timer1" Interval="2000" runat="server" /> asp:UpdatePanel ID="up1" runat="server"> Triggers> asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="Timer1" EventName="Tick" /> /Triggers> ContentTemplate> asp:AdRotator id="AdRotator1" AdvertisementFile="~/App_Data/Ads.xml" KeywordFilter="small" Runat="server" /> /ContentTemplate> /asp:UpdatePanel> /div>
div>
Some other Content on your page!
/div>
/form>
