Periodic update of datagrid

[Wolfseye]

Hi,<BR><BR> I know you can set up a client-side script to trigger every xx seconds, but I need to trigger a server-side update. How can/should I do that?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>DeannaThis isn't asp.net hi-tek but it works.<BR>I can't think of any features in asp.net to trigger a client side refresh.<BR><BR>Step 1 Client side refresh<BR>------------------------------------------------------<BR>meta tag (note: quotes are supposed to be like that)<BR><META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="30; pageName.aspx?mode=update"><BR>-Or- javaScript<BR><script><BR> setTimeout("location.href=http://aspmessageboard.com/archive/index.php/'pageName.aspx?mode=update'",30000); //time in mS<BR></script><BR><BR>Step 2 Call Server Side Update<BR>---------------------------<BR>Note the url we were redirecting to had mode=update. <BR>Use this to trigger the update.<BR><%if request("mode") ="update" then update()%><BR>Or trigger the update on Page_Load event<BR><BR><BR><BR>Use the setTimeout method like xdrone said except use the __doPostBack() jscript call that asp.net generates. Or somehow submit the webform (form.submit()).. This will allow you to maintain the state of your asp.net page. <BR><BR>State in asp.net is stored in one hidden variable. As long as that keeps getting posted back to the server all your controls that have state will keep their state.
