How to used AJAX Timer Control in ASP.Net?


Timer control in ASP.NET is an AJAX control. The Timer use the Tick event for show the time. You will set the Interval of timer.

Interval="1000"
Here
1000 Milliseconds = 1 Second

Timer controls allow you to do postbacks at certain intervals. If used together with UpdatePanels, which is the most common approach, it allows for timed partial updates of your page, but it can be used for posting back the entire page as well.


Here is a small example of using the Timer control. It simply updates a timestamp every second starting from page load.

HTML

Here we have a normal UpdatePanel, which carries a Trigger reference to our Timer control. This means that the panel is updated when the Timer "ticks", that is, fires the Tick event.

The Timer control uses the interval attribute to define the number of milliseconds to occur before firing the Tick event.

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head runat="server">

<title>Untitled Page</title>

</head>

<body>

<form id="form1" runat="server">

<div>

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />

<asp:Timer runat="server" ID="Timer1" Interval="1000" OnTick="Timer1_Tick" />

<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" ID="TimedPanel" UpdateMode="Conditional">

<Triggers>

<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="Timer1" EventName="Tick" />

</Triggers>

<ContentTemplate>

<div style="width: 100px; background-color: #CCCCCC; text-align: center;border: 1px solid black;">

<asp:Label runat="server" ID="DateStampLabel" Font-Bold="True" Font-Names="Calibri" ForeColor="red" Font-Size="16pt" />

</div>

</ContentTemplate>

</asp:UpdatePanel>

</div>

</form>

</body>

</html>

Code

dtStart get time when your page load and every interval dt get new time. Shows the difference between both times.

static DateTime dtStart =System.DateTime.Now;

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

}

protected void Timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

DateTime dt = System.DateTime.Now;

TimeSpan ts = dt.Subtract(dtStart);

DateStampLabel.Text = ts.Hours.ToString("00")

+ " : " + ts.Minutes.ToString("00")

+ " : " + ts.Seconds.ToString("00");

}

Connected and disconnected architecture in ADO.Net with Example

Connected Architecture of ADO.NET The architecture of ADO.net, in which connection must be opened to access the data retrieved from database is called as connected architecture. Connected architecture was built on the classes connection, command, datareader and transaction.  Connected architecture is when you constantly make trips to the database for any CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) operation you wish to do. This creates more traffic to the database but is normally much faster as you should be doing smaller transactions. Disconnected Architecture in ADO.NET The architecture of ADO.net in which data retrieved from database can be accessed even when connection to database was closed is called as disconnected architecture. Disconnected architecture of ADO.net was built on classes connection, dataadapter, commandbuilder and dataset and dataview. Disconnected architecture is a method of retrieving a r...

HTTPHandler and HTTPModule in ASP.NET

If you want to implement pre-processing logic before a request hits the IIS resources. For instance you would like to apply security mechanism, URL rewriting, filter something in the request, etc. ASP.NET has provided two types of interception HttpModule and HttpHandler .   The web server examines the file name extension of the requested file, and determines which ISAPI extension should handle the request. Then the request is passed to the appropriate ISAPI extension.  For Example When an .aspx page is requested it is passed to ASP.Net page handler. Then Application domain is created and after that different ASP.Net objects like Httpcontext, HttpRequest, HttpResponse. HTTPModule: -    It's just like a filter. The Modules are called before and after the handler executes . -    HTTP Modules are objects which also participate the pipeline but they work before and after the HTTP Handler does its job, and produce additional serv...
