Add Animated Markers to Google Maps in Asp.net Website

Here I will explain how to add animated marker in Google maps api using JavaScript in asp.net website or Show animated marker in Google maps api in asp.net.
Description:
In previous article I explained clearly how to add Google map to website in asp.net, Add marker to Google map in asp.net website, Add multiple markers to Google map using JSON, jQuery Google currency converter example and many articles relating to jQuery, JavaScript, asp.net. Now I will explain how to add animated marker in Google maps api in asp.net website.

Before add marker to Google map in website first we need to get google api key for that please check below url
Once you got the key write the following code in your aspx or html page like as shown below 
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Add Animated marker to Google Maps in asp.net website</title>
<style type="text/css">
html { height: 100% }
body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0 }
#map_canvas { height: 100% }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyC6v5-2uaq_wusHDktM9ILcqIrlPtnZgEk&sensor=true">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(13.053147716796578, 80.2501953125)
var mapOptions = {
center: myLatlng,
zoom: 8,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
marker: true
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), mapOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatlng,
animation:google.maps.Animation.BOUNCE,
title: "Chennai"
});
marker.setMap(map);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="initialize()">
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div id="map_canvas" style="width: 500px; height: 300px"></div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
If you observe above code in header section I written code like
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=Your_API_Key&sensor=SET_TRUE_OR_FALSE">
Here you need to set key value as your api key and sensor parameter of the URL must be included, it indicates whether this application uses a sensor (such as a GPS locator) to determine the user's location for that reason you must set this value to either true or false explicitly.
To add animated marker to google map we need to use setMap() method for that we need to write the code like as show below
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatlng,
animation:google.maps.Animation.BOUNCE,
title: "Chennai"
});
marker.setMap(map);
