How To Refresh An ASP.NET Page?
To refresh web page after some time period you can use HTML meta tag. This line placed inside of <head > tag will refresh web page every 10 seconds:
<head>
<title>Untitled
Page</title>
<meta
http-equiv="refresh"
content="10">
</head>
You can implement this dynamically too. Let say that this refresh period is not constant and you need to be able to change it in settings area of your ASP.NET application. You can achieve this if you set ID parameter and add runat="server" part, like this:
<meta id="RefreshPeriod" runat="server" http-equiv="refresh" content="10" />
After that, in code behind you can manipulate with refresh period. Let say you want to refresh page every 5 seconds:
[ C# ]
public
partial class
_Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void
Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Set refresh period in seconds
RefreshPeriod.Content = "5";
}
}
[ VB.NET ]
Partial
Class DefaultVB
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub
Page_Load(ByVal sender
As Object, ByVal
e As System.EventArgs)
Handles Me.Load
' Set refresh period in seconds
RefreshPeriod.Content = "5"
End Sub
End
Class
