I am trying to use the AdRotator control with timing to have a slide show of the images. For which I tried something like this XMLFile1 file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

On Building this app, it gives me a blank Page and none of the image is displayed. Why thats so.
It's because you have Visible="False" in the UpdatePanel. Take that out, and the images should show up.
