1. Let's first look at Basic News Scroller (BasicNews) and
learn by example.
The most important property is "NewsMessage" property. In order to produce the news message as above, you need modify the "NewsMessage" property. You can either modify it from Properties or from the code behind file
(.cs or .vb).
Example of assigning "NewsMessage" property in C# code
behind file.
BasicNews1.NewsMessage="<font face=\"Georgia\" size=\"2\">This is <font color=\"#FF0000\"><b>Basic News Scroller</b></font>. <br>It is given from RainForestnet.com.<hr> If you would like express your gratitude on my work, <br>try to figure out how to save our rainforest. We have done bad enough to our mother earth.<p><font face=\"Arial Black\"
size=\"6\">Thank You!</font></p></font>";
