When the page is loaded, each category i.e books / computers / clothing etc should pick at random its own individual background image (from a range of background images).
I realise this would involve some code behind changes, but is it possible ?? My thoughts are along these lines:
Modify the ProductBox usercontrol with this code
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Some code here to generate a random number between 0 & 3
System.Random RandNum = new System.Random();
int myInt = RandNum.Next(4);
if (productPanel.BackImageUrl != null)
{
switch (myInt)
{
case 0:
productPanel.BackImageUrl = "../App_Themes/emmaharris/images/frame1.gif";
break;
case 1:
productPanel.BackImageUrl = "../App_Themes/emmaharris/images/frame2.gif";
break;
case 2:
productPanel.BackImageUrl = "../App_Themes/emmaharris/images/frame3.gif";
break;
case 3:
productPanel.BackImageUrl = "../App_Themes/emmaharris/images/frame4.gif";
break;
}
}
// End of new code to switch background images
}
}
and change the ProductBox usercontrol like this
<asp:Panel ID="productPanel" CssClass="ProductItem" runat="server">
<div class="title" visible="false">
<asp:HyperLink ID="hlProduct" runat="server" />
</div>
<div class="picture">
<asp:HyperLink ID="hlImageLink" runat="server" />
</div>
<div class="description" visible="false">
<asp:Literal runat="server" ID="lShortDescription"></asp:Literal>
</div>
<div class="addInfo" visible="false">
<div class="prices">
<asp:Label ID="lblOldPrice" runat="server" CssClass="oldproductPrice" />
<br />
<asp:Label ID="lblPrice" runat="server" CssClass="productPrice" /></div>
<div class="buttons">
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnProductDetails" OnCommand="btnProductDetails_Click"
Text="Details" ValidationGroup="ProductDetails" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("ProductID") %>'
SkinID="ProductGridProductDetailButton" /><br />
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnAddToCart" OnCommand="btnAddToCart_Click" Text="Add to cart"
ValidationGroup="ProductDetails" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("ProductID") %>' SkinID="ProductGridAddToCartButton" />
</div>
</div>
</asp:Panel>
It seems to work when I run the code whilst debugging ( I get a randomly picked image for each product), but when running on the site normally I get all the images the same. It seems that slowing the code down, helps the random get generated. Any ideas ???
