The best thing to do is to put all of your slideshow images into a separate folder, say Images/slideshow.

Then, in your GetSlides method, just pull all the slides from that folder to make the array of slides that the slideshow will use.

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using AjaxControlToolkit;

public partial class SlideShow : Page
{
   protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
   }

   [System.Web.Services.WebMethod, System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptMethod]
   public static Slide[] GetSlides()
   {
      string imagesPath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/images/slideshow/");
      DirectoryInfo directoryInfo = new DirectoryInfo(imagesPath);
      ArrayList slides = new ArrayList();

      foreach (FileInfo fileInfo in directoryInfo.GetFiles())
      {
         Slide slide = new Slide("images/slideshow/" + fileInfo.Name, "The Old House", fileInfo.Name);
         slides.Add(slide);
      }

      return slides.Cast<Slide>().ToArray();
   }
}

If you study how the file uploading works in the BeerHouse site, you ashould be able to easily adapt it to what you want.

adding a new feature to the Admin file

Hello:
I have the script below that I'm using for a slide show on a page in a web built based on the Beerhouse project. It would be neat, if I could load the photos by logging in as Admin and add them to the slideshow from the Admin menu.

I was wondering if there were any existing samples for that? Or if not, any help to add that feature to the Admin folder would be greatly appreciated!
