This thread is for discussions of Timer control.

Sometimes, if the timer doesn't fire, one can try putting in a doevents statement. [Someone's got any experience with that one?]

How could i make a timer activate every 3 hours to check the database and findout any new records were added?

Thanks in advance

Hi!

I created a control that I named KYNOUAJAXContainer that can be found at http://www.kynou.com/KYNOUControls/KYNOUControls.zip. This control allows you to add regular ASP.NET controls into it and they all become AJAX enabled. You can use this container control as a sort of timer control for ASP.NET. This is because the container control has a property called ShouldRefresh. When this property is set to true, it will refresh the content of all the controls inside of the container every RefreshInterval seconds (RefreshInterval is another property of the container control).
I posted tutorials that will walk you through the steps to use the control at http://www.KYNOU.com under the Tutorial Index => Ajax => KYNOU AJAX Controls link
