Introduction

Well, I was working on a project in which I required a rating control. This rating control is developed using web control class in which we have 4 properties. By using these properties, we can use the rating control.

Background

I Googled and found paid rating controls. Then I decided to develop my own rating control.

Using the Code

Using this control is very easy. We have a class Voting in MyVote namespace. In the Voting class, we have 4 properties.

In this control, we have 4 properties in MyVotele or code.

View online demo.

• VoteCount: It will return the number of vote users have clicked.
• MouseOver_ImagePath: Set the image path of Mouse over image.
• MouseOut_ImagePath: Set the image path of Mouse out image.
• StarCount: Set the number of stars to be displayed in rating control.

In a *.aspx page, you have to register a control:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="MyBar" Namespace="MyVote" %> 

In a *.aspx page between form tags, write this:

<MyBar:voting runat="server" id="RatingCtrl" width="100px" StarCount="5"
 MouseOut_ImagePath="star.jpg" MouseOver_ImagePath="starover.jpg" 
	OnClick="RatingCtrl_Click" >
</MyBar:voting> 

Points of Interest

This control is very easy to use in different pages.
