ASP.NET Ad Manager

Reader Level: 
ASP.NET has a really useful control, the <asp:AdRotator>, which allows you to specify a number of banner ads in an xml file. The control will then take care of the dirty work of displaying the banner ads. Unfortunately, the very fact that the configuration for the control is kept in an XML file
sort of discourages people from using it. I mean, who wants to break open the FTP connection just to update a small configuration file.
The download accompanied with this article is a web interface for this ad xml file. It dynamically builds the display from the contents of the XML file, and allows you to update existing ads, delete ads, or add new ones.
The code is written in C# and ASP.NET 2.0 so that we can take advantage of advanced features such as C# generics.
