Rounded Corners

[Stuart Ferguson]

I am looking to create the effect shown in the image
(http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/4476/effectuc6.jpg) this is taken
from www.asp.net. I was wondering if there is a specific technique to
creating this rounded corner effect (e.g. a css class or server side
ASP.Net component) or is this as simple as creating a gradient image
with rounded corners and reusing throughout the site.

Many Thanks

Stuart

the ASP.NET AJAX Toolkit has an add on to make the rounded corner - it is
done all client side (the server side generates the required html/js)

Yes it does but, if you mean this:
http://ajax.asp.net/ajaxtoolkit/RoundedCorners/RoundedCorners.aspx, then it
looks absolutely horrible - the corners are really jagged...

There's a free ASP.NET control available here:

Here I've covered the RoundedCorners extender of the AJAX Control Toolkit.
In the same article I've also covered the DropShadow extender, which can
also create rounded corners.

There are many "rounded corners" solutions, including several that do not use
images at all. These almost always use CSS. You can find excellent example
code by searching on (gasp!) -- "Rounded corners" CSS.
