Delay before first sliding ad

[linderboss]

When I use the sliding ad feature, I noticed a big delay before the first ad slides in. After that, the animation run as expected. If I turn off sliding, the first ad shows up almost immediately.

I expect a very short delay before the first sliding ad to load the ad off-screen.

Tested with PubCenter, AdDuplex, and AdMob.

Hmm, we changed the sliding add to start off screen due to popular request.
I wonder if it is going through 2 cycles of animation before sliding in, possibly.

An alternative is to put AdRotator in your own user control without using the sliding feature and then build your own animation with that control to slide it in.

We'll investigate this end but I've seen no more than a 5 second delay in testing here.
Possibly might update it slightly so that the first "slide in" is quicker or instantaneous maybe.

Thanks for checking this. Did you tried to put AdRotator inside a User Control? I have DLL with an AdPanel (my User Control) hosting an AdRotator.

Your suggestion to create my own animation sounds interesting: I always wanted my ads to slide in from one side and exit thought another.

Thanks Darkside!

We usually recommend hosting the AdRotator control in your own UserControl, especially for situations where you intend to place ads on multiple pages. It's just more efficient that way
