Keeping up-to-date on orders...

[itagraham]

This is one which I have been scratching my head over for some time now.

 

On an ordering page is a gridview, that grid view displays all unprocessed orders. Here the problem is; I need the orders to be up-to-date. Is there a solution that I may display up-to-date orders every five minutes with asp.net 2.0?

 

Any help would be much appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Just put a meta refresh tag in the page header.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="300">

This will perform a post back to the server every 5 minutes. You may also want to turn caching on the page off to ensure that fresh content is delivered every page load.
