SliderExtender

Demo Page

The Slider extender allows upgrading an asp:TextBox to a graphical slider that allows a user to choose a numeric value from a finite range.

By declaring the extended TextBox as a trigger for an UpdatePanel, the Slider can fire the update whenever the handle is released. By setting RaiseChangeOnlyOnMouseUp to false, the update will be fired as soon as the Slider's value changes. The TooltipText property allows displaying some text when the mouse pointer hovers the slider's handle. A {0} placeholder in the text is replaced by the current value of the slider.
