    I have a few question about the AjaxControlToolkit.SlideShowExtender control.

    1) How to use a web server with this? I understand the SlideShowServicePath property, but not the SlideShowServiceMethod property. Specifically, what to use if the Web Service Method takes three (long) parameters?

    2) The web service uses the AjaxControlToolkit.Slide[] as the return value, but when I test it, it returns a similar type, but not the AjaxControlToolkit.Slide object. If this is going to be a problem, how to get past it?

    3) The SlideShowExtender has properties for the Next and Previous buttons. But does the UpdatePanel that contains the SlideShowExtender also need these external buttons addded to it's Triggers collection?

     I'm beginning to think that this forum is less than helpful... I find it hard to beleive that nobody has enough experience to answer my three questions.

    I have changed the web service from taking three long parameters to a single string parameter, but the SlideShowExtender is still not working, even though I have tested the web service and it is working correctly.

    I have set the following attributes:

    ssMain.ContextKey = "0,1,1"
    ssMain.UseContextKey = true;

    within the Page_Load method of the content page that holds the UpdatePanel and the AjaxControlToolkit.SlideShowExtender control.

    For testing on my development machine, the following attributes are also being set:

    ssMain.SlideShowServicePath = http://localhost:1497/my-msi.net/services/gemsFamilyImages.asmx;
    ssMain.SlideShowServiceMethod =
    "LoadImageGroup";

    I'm not getting any error messages, but the image never shows up, even though I have set:

    ssMain.TargetControlID = "imgMain";

    What am I missing? The test page works correctly and I'm not getting any compiler warnings when I build or run the site.

    I have a breakpoint on the web service method: LoadImageGroup and it's not being called from the JavaScript code!
