How do I update text in a panel using ajax and a timer?

This is a pretty basic question, I just need to update a textbox every few minutes without using a postback. The text is pulled from a sql query. Is there a example for how to do this somewhere? (simialar to how gmail updates, etc...)

Take a look at this: http://encosia.com/index.php/2007/07/25/display-data-updates-in-real-time-with-ajax/

If you're only updating a simple text label, you could skip the UpdatePanel in my example andupdate that text on the client side, using a web method.

A combination of those two examples should give you what you're after.

Thanks for providing links.

How can i use Comet with Asp.Net?

Im writing basic chat application and i want to useComet technique.
Im trying something like that but when thread Sleep, all event waiting end of sleep. How can i use Comet technique with Asp.Net?

void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {while (Response.IsClientConnected) {if (newMessage) { Response.Write(newMessage); } System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000); } }

It's much more complex than that.

The only C# implementation I've seen is:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/emergetk/

But it's experimental, and looks like a discontinued project.

There is a commercial solution for that, called Lightstreamer (google for it). They are working on this for more than 5 years, and they have a solid server for comet development. But they charge good money for their product.

I am currently working on an affordable version of server push for asp.net.

When contacting the earlier mentioned 'lightstreamer', I received a qoute for US$70.000,-

I guess it was better to make it myself :)

The site is officially not up and running yet, but take a look at the samples onhttp://www.pushasp.net.

These samples also contain the code used.

If you want to play around with the conrols, they should be available for download somewhere this week.
