ASP.NET manual start and stop timer
Hi,
I am using ASP.NET 1.1 without AJAX.
Programming in C#.
What I need to do in my ASP.NET page is:
When the user clicks on a button in the page, it starts a timer.
That timer will refresh the page every 10 seconds so that my datagrid binded to the database will be refreshed.
When all data is up to date, stop the timer programatically.
I need to know how to start a timer in ASP.NET, and how to stop it when required.
How do I do that?
Thanks a lot

Perhaps use a javascript timer (client-side scripting) initiated on page load (onload event), and when done loading just don't write that script anymore?

OK,
I am not very good with JavaScript.
Could you give me an example of the JavaScript function?
Do I have to use setTimeout? And how do I refresh my page from JavaScript?
Thank you!
