Application Requirements

  2. Start with new Windows Forms application using Visual Studio 2010 or later version.

Configure the data source

  1. Drag and drop the UltraCarousel control from the Visual Studio toolbox area onto the form, or if you decide to create the control in code, then you need to add the following assembly references:

    • Infragistics.Shared

    • Infragistics.Win.UltraWinCarousel

    • Infragistics.Win

  2. Drag and drop the Infragistics UltraDataSource component from the toolbox area on to the form.

  3. Use the smart tag of the UltraDataSource component and select “ UltraDataSourceDesigner ” option, which opens the designer dialog.
