Questions
With Datasource and adsense, exception is launch "Unable to cast object of type 'System.DBNull' to type 'System.String'":
AdRotatorExt is an extend of Microsoft .NET AdRotator. With AdRotator, ImageURl, AlternativeURL and NavigateURL should be not null with datasource (see MSDN documentation). Thus, If you use AdRotatorExt, these fields also should be not null. To solve your problem, define a value in these fields (or empty string in database). If AdSenseClient and AdSenseSlot are defined, AdRotatorExt display adsense advertisement.
