The first way involves the Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adaptor. This method requires you to simply plug the adapter directly into the projector and your iPad. Another method is to use mirroring, a feature available on iOS 5.0 and higher.
The Reflector App is also available for $12.99 or $54.99 for multiple licenses, that also allows you to connect your iPad to a computer/projector.
This step-by-step guide explains the steps to mirror your iPad through your projector via mirroring. Please make sure you are referring to the correct projector type. If your projector type isn't listed (I've just posted directions for a couple types that I am used to using) feel free to contact me and I'll do my best to help you out.
