Using the RegisterArrayDeclaration Method in ASP.NET

[]

Let’s create a simple Web page to demonstrate the RegisterArrayDeclaration method. This page provides a slide show where the client-side JavaScript changes the image. In this example, we will search a specified folder on the server and load the names of all the images in a JavaScript array. We will also provide two buttons, one for showing the next image from the list and another for showing the previous one
