# Asp.Net slider control?

By Roy Osherove February 23, 2004 In [.Net Original](https://osherove.com/blog/category/net-original)

**Historical article** · Originally published February 23, 2004; technical details may be outdated.

A friend is trying to implement a slider control in an ASP.Net page. Know any good control for download to do this out of the box? should have server events as well. I can't find any, and maybe ActiveX is not the best solution...

The idea is trying to control an embedded media player (or other player) using the control and not depending on the inartistic controls that come with each player.

BTW: this is a nice reference (and it says there is no slider for asp.net):
