The AdRotator component is used to display a different advertisement image on a page each time a user visits or refreshes the page. A text file includes the information about the advertisement images.

Syntax for creating AdRotator Object:

<%
 set adrotator=server.createobject("MSWC.AdRotator")
 adrotator.GetAdvertisement("textfile.txt")
 %>

The text file might look like:
