Carousel vs. Rotator?

[Bradley Plett]

What's the difference between the carousel and rotator controls?  The examples I've seen suggest a different look/feel, but I get the impression they're identical and the samples are just styling things differently.

Hi Bradley,

We have analyzed your query. SfCarousel and SfRotator controls both allow interactively navigating through image data so that it can be viewed or selected. The main difference is that in SfRotator, we can only see one item in the view, whereas in SfCarousel, we can see multiple items in the view.

SfCarousel

1. The Offset property in the SfCarousel, we can provide space between unselected items.

2. The RotationAngle property in the SfCarousel control is used to tilt all the unselected items in a specified angle.

3.  The Duration property specifies the amount of time it takes to move an item to the selected item position.

4. The ViewMode property is used to populate carousel items in either stacked linear or carousel layout.

5. SfCarousel supports UIVirtualization.

SfRotator

1. The SfRotator's NavigationMode allows you to navigate data using dots or thumbnails.

2. The Position property allows you to specify the position of dots or thumbnail items on any of the four sides.

3. The EnableAutoPlay property specifies whether the items should navigate automatically based on NavigationDelay property.

Please let us know if you have any concerns.

Thanks a lot.  That's very helpful.  It would seem to me that the difference between them could be accomplished with a property, but this is a good explanation.
