Sample 1: Basic Carousel

Carousel images have to be placed inside the SlidesTemplate property. It is a control default property so you can place the <bs:CarouselItem> elements directly inside the <bs:Carousel> control. Each image is defined using the CarouselItem control.

The CarouselItem has the IsActive that specifies which image will be displayed first.

<div style="height: 428px; width: 640px;">

    <bs:Carousel>
        <SlidesTemplate>
        
            <bs:CarouselItem IsActive="true">
                <bs:Image ImageUrl="~/Images/LA.jpg" />
            </bs:CarouselItem>
        
            <bs:CarouselItem>
                <bs:Image ImageUrl="~/Images/NY.jpg" />
            </bs:CarouselItem>
        
            <bs:CarouselItem>
                <bs:Image ImageUrl="~/Images/Miami.jpg" />
            </bs:CarouselItem>
    
        </SlidesTemplate>
    </bs:Carousel>

</div>

Sample 2: Carousel Settings

The Carousel control has the following properties:

  • The RenderSideControls property specifies whether the left and right controls which switch the slides will be rendered.

  • The EnableAnimation property specifies whether the transitions between slides are animated or not.

  • The AutoSlideInterval property sets the interval of automatic transitions in seconds. If this property is not set, the user has to switch the slides manually.

<div style="height: 428px; width: 640px;">

    <bs:Carousel RenderSideControls="false" EnableAnimation="false" AutoSlideInterval="3">
        <bs:CarouselItem IsActive="true">
            <bs:Image ImageUrl="~/Images/LA.jpg" />
        </bs:CarouselItem>
        
        <bs:CarouselItem>
            <bs:Image ImageUrl="~/Images/NY.jpg" />
        </bs:CarouselItem>
        
        <bs:CarouselItem>
            <bs:Image ImageUrl="~/Images/Miami.jpg" />
        </bs:CarouselItem>
    </bs:Carousel>

</div>

Sample 3: Side Controls

The RightControlTemplate and LeftControlTemplate you can specify your own buttons which will used instead the default ones.

<div style="height: 428px; width: 640px;">

    <bs:Carousel>
        <SlidesTemplate>
        
            <bs:CarouselItem IsActive="true">
                <bs:Image ImageUrl="~/Images/LA.jpg" />
            </bs:CarouselItem>
        
            <bs:CarouselItem>
                <bs:Image ImageUrl="~/Images/NY.jpg" />
            </bs:CarouselItem>
        
            <bs:CarouselItem>
                <bs:Image ImageUrl="~/Images/Miami.jpg" />
            </bs:CarouselItem>
        
        </SlidesTemplate>
    
        <RightControlTemplate>
            <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-hand-right" aria-hidden="true"></span>
        </RightControlTemplate>
    
        <LeftControlTemplate>
            <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-hand-left" aria-hidden="true"></span>
        </LeftControlTemplate>
    
    </bs:Carousel>

</div>

Sample 4: Captions

The Caption or the CaptionTemplate properties can be used to set description of the image.

<div style="height: 428px; width: 640px;">

    <bs:Carousel>
    
        <bs:CarouselItem>
            <CaptionTemplate>
                <h1>Los Angeles</h1>
                <p>On of the most beautiful cities on the west coast.</p>
            </CaptionTemplate>
            <bs:Image ImageUrl="~/Images/LA.jpg" />
        </bs:CarouselItem>
        
        <bs:CarouselItem Caption="{value: Caption}">
            <bs:Image ImageUrl="~/Images/NY.jpg" />
        </bs:CarouselItem>
        
    </bs:Carousel>

</div>
using DotVVM.Framework.ViewModel;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace DotvvmWeb.Views.Docs.Controls.bootstrap.Carousel.sample4
{
    public class ViewModel : DotvvmViewModelBase
    {
        public string Caption { get; set; } = "New York";
    }
}

Sample 5: Carousel Data-binding

The Carousel slides can also be loaded from a collection in the viewmodel. Use the DataSource property to specify the source collection.

Then use the ImageUrlBinding to specify which property of the collection item will be used as the URL of the image.

Similarly, the CaptionBinding property can specify which property will be the slide caption, and finally the IsActiveBinding specifies which of the slides will be displayed first.

<div style="height: 428px; width: 640px;">

    <bs:Carousel DataSource="{value: Images}" 
                 ImageUrlBinding="{value: URL}"
                 CaptionBinding="{value: Caption}"
                 IsActiveBinding="{value: Active}"/>

</div>
using DotVVM.Framework.ViewModel;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace DotvvmWeb.Views.Docs.Controls.bootstrap.Carousel.sample5
{
    public class ViewModel : DotvvmViewModelBase
    {
        public ImageData[] Images { get; set; } = new[]
        {
            new ImageData("/Images/LA.jpg", "Los Angeles"),
            new ImageData("/Images/NY.jpg", "New York", true),
            new ImageData("/Images/Miami.jpg", "Miami")
        };
    }

    public class ImageData
    {
        public ImageData()
        {
        }

        public ImageData(string url, string caption, bool active = false)
        {
            Active = active;
            URL = url;
            Caption = caption;
        }

        public string Caption { get; set; }
        public bool Active { get; set; }
        public string URL { get; set; }
    }
}
