    If you want to use a built-in control, you should look at the AdRotator. It will allow you to setup a XML file that lists all of your images that will be random displayed when the control renders on the page.

    Control Usage:

       <asp:AdRotator id="AdRotator1" runat="server" Target="_self"
        AdvertisementFile="~/App_Data/Ads.xml"/>

    Example XML File ( Ads.xml ):

      <Ad>
    <ImageUrl>~/Images/image1.jpg</ImageUrl>
    <height>60</height>
    <width>190</width>
    <NavigateUrl>http://www.microsoft.com</NavigateUrl>
    <AlternateText>Microsoft Main Site</AlternateText>
    <Impressions>80</Impressions>
    <Keyword>Topic1</Keyword>
  </Ad>
  <Ad>
    <ImageUrl>~/Images/image2.jpg</ImageUrl>
    <height>90</height>
    <width>90</width>
    <NavigateUrl>http://www.wingtiptoys.com</NavigateUrl>
    <AlternateText>Wingtip Toys</AlternateText>
    <Impressions>80</Impressions>
    <Keyword>Topic2</Keyword>
  </Ad>
</Advertisements>

    If your looking for something that can change the images client side (via JavaScript), there are a ton of solutions available. Here is an example of using the jQuery.Cycle plugin.

    <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="jQueryRotateImages.aspx.cs" Inherits="DevOne.jQueryRotateImages" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title>jQuery Rotate Images - Cycle Plugin</title>
    <style type="text/css">
        .slideshow { height: 232px; width: 232px; margin: auto; }
        .slideshow img { padding: 15px; border: 1px solid #ccc; background-color: #eee; }
    </style>
    <!-- include jQuery library -->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <!-- include Cycle plugin -->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://cloud.github.com/downloads/malsup/cycle/jquery.cycle.all.latest.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $('.slideshow').cycle({
                fx: 'fade' // choose your transition type, ex: fade, scrollUp, shuffle, etc...
            });
        });
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div id="slideshow" class="slideshow" runat="server">
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

    And here is how you can add your images dynamically in your code behind.

    using System;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;

namespace DevOne
{
    public partial class jQueryRotateImages : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            slideshow.Controls.Add(new HtmlImage() { Src = "http://cloud.github.com/downloads/malsup/cycle/beach1.jpg", Width = 200, Height  = 200});
            slideshow.Controls.Add(new HtmlImage() { Src = "http://cloud.github.com/downloads/malsup/cycle/beach2.jpg", Width = 200, Height = 200 });
            slideshow.Controls.Add(new HtmlImage() { Src = "http://cloud.github.com/downloads/malsup/cycle/beach3.jpg", Width = 200, Height = 200 });
        }
    }
}
