postback and refresh problem

I have a ASPX form with a dropdownlist that makes a post back (to the same
page of course, just a normal asp.net postback)

That page also has an auto refresh javascript as it needs to refresh its
data automatically.

The problem is that when i click on the dropdownlist, i post back
information to the page, then after that the next refresh will brin me a
alert message populated by internet explorer saying:
"The page cannot be refreshd without resending the information. Click Retry
to send the information again, or click Cancel to return to the page that
you were trying to view."

I assume that IE, detects that the last request was a FORM POST (HTTP POST)
and then will automatically display this.

Is there anyone who knows how i can avoid this? I need to refresh the page
without this message appearing in the case i change the value on my
dropdownlist. And somehow my page need to reload through a postback or some
other way as I need to display some information that differs.

I hope this is clear enough, if not I will reformulate

Best regards,

Francois

I would suggest to request the clean page again instead of refreshing.
The request can be done in javascript with
location.href = "nameofmypage.h tm";

I am having a strange problem. The program is a bit complex, but I'll try to simplify what I can. I apologize if this is complicated, but I think this would still be simpler than posting a bunch of source code. If you want me to post code, though, just say so. In a nutshell, I've got an ASP.NET application that has one main ASPX page. On that ASPX page, it has a user control (an ASCX) that displays the actual data and controls I need.

Hi - I've got a couple of pages where a DataList is populated only if(!Postback). I have buttons in the datagrid that allow for the 'deletion' of items from that DataList. The problem is that the deleted items don't disappear on Postback, but only after a page refresh. I assume this is because the DataList is not redatabound unless !Postback. However, if I remove the if(!Postback) statement, the button's 'delete' method doesn't seem...

Hi All :-) I have a web page that I need to refresh every time the page loads. I thought that the page automatically did a refresh/postback on the Page_Load event. Isn't refreshing the page the same thing as an Auto-postback? My page does not refresh with current data if you leave it, go to another page and return; but if you manually do a refresh of the page (using the Refresh button on the toolbar in IE), the page refreshes/reloads with...

Hi, i'm not sure to understand the difference between refreshing the pagina by clicking on 'refresh' in the browser and a postback. What i think it is: Suppose a page with a form containing a textbox and a dropdowlist: and a button to start something n code-behind: a refresh doesn't send any value back to the server but with a postback, the values are sent? But then, which role does Viewstate play in the postback proces?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
