the best way for you , is using javascript for its timer, or use AJAX that you could retrieve your data and also refresh the page.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm not sure if this is possible but I'm having problems finding a solution :(<br />
<br />
I have a website written in asp.net (C#) which connects to a C++ COM server for data which will be retrieved and used to update the webpage. Sending data to the COM server works perfectly. &nbsp;Retrieving a response and updating the website is the problem.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure how this is done professionally but here are the possibilities I've come up with:<br />
<br />
- In the asp.net create a timer that on fire checks if there is new data in the COM server to be retrieved i.e simple values, retrieve the data, and send a refresh to update the page.<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; - problems - create timer, and issue refresh<br />
<br />
- Have a C++ event in the COM server and when triggered by the COM server to state that new data is ready to be retrieved, the asp.net picks up with event, retrieves the data and sends a refresh to update the page.<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; - problems - accessing an C++ event in the COM server from asp.net, and issue refresh<br />
<br />
Is this viable? If not, is there any alternatives?<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
<br />
Brent.<br />

ASP.NET refresh on event (timer or COM)

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

ASP.NET

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

Web applications are systems that run in browsers that perform functions normally associated with other client-based programs. One of the most commonly used web applications is email; instead of downloading individual emails to a local machine, the data is shown through a website. Other examples of web applications are collaborative systems like a wiki or an online game.
