Server Forced PostBack

Hey All

I have an interesting question. I have a WEB application that requires an "Active" data connection. For example, the client application makes a request to the database. Throughout the "Session", if any changes are made to the data that the user has, the server should force a PostBack

In ADO, adOpenDynamic recordset is the behavior I am trying to mimick. I know that with ActiveX, J# and java this is not that hard, what about ASP.Net via C# or VB

Any ideas would be great

Thanks

Under the ASP.NET architecture, once the client has received the page, the
server is out of the picture until the CLIENT makes another request from the
server.

So, the answer to your question is to force another request from the client.
This leaves you with only client side possibilities like using HTML's meta
tag with the HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="n" where n is a number in
seconds.

You will not be able to have the server spontaneously contact the client
after page delivery is complete to let it know about a data value changing.

Hi, I'm having a problem similar to the one that's stated in this KB http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;839521 When I'm posting a page to itself with the bool value as true it falls into an infinite loop and later a StackOverflow Exception. I need to do this and not a Response.Redirect or a transfer with the bool in false. My problem is that this KB is saying that this problem should be solved with ServicePack 1 of...

Is there a way to make a page at the receiving end of a Server.Transfer think that the request is a Postback? (When I say "think it is a Postback," I mean I want the page to go through the ENTIRE event sequence for a postback, including LoadViewState, ProcessPostData, etc.) Even when Sever.Transfer transfers a page to itself (i.e., Page A.aspx contains Server.Transfer("A.apsx")) the request is seen as a first-time request, not a Postback....

Hello, Reading articles on the various forms of attack that people try against web sites, it seems that a lot of them involve people modifying a page and posting it back to the server. Thus, if you had some way of checking (on postback) if the postback had come from the server on which the page is running, you would be a long way to avoiding these attacks. For example, if you could have (pseudocode)...

Hi, I have been developing web applications for a while now. However, as I was thinking through the architecture I really don't understand the "How server can identify between which buttons has made the postback request.???" for e.g. I have a webpage default.aspx. I place TWO or more server buttons on it. Create server-side event handlers for each of the buttons.

hi, using .net 2.0, i have a web form with lots of textboxes, drop-down-lists etc. There are lots of required field validators and regular expression validators. When i click the 'save' button, the client-side validation is executed immediately and the errors flash up on screen. However at the same time, a post-back is performed and the page is obviously un-usable while it is awaiting a response from the server. it looks very poor from...

Hello. I'm trying to undetrstand ASP.NET 2.0 and javascript.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
