I don't think ASP.NET has build feature that can do this.
I think one way is to put the data that needs to refresh frequently
into an IFrame, and make the page in the IFrame refresh at a regular
interval. This way you won't have to reload the entire page, but only
the data you need.
A more advance approach will be to have a hidden frame that constantly
poll data from the server, and only update the page when new data
arrives.
Both approach will require a lot more coding than simply refreshing
the entire page, so they might not be an option if it doesn't fit your
budget.

I have an aspx page that needs to reload itself every x seconds. X is a
parameter retrieve from the DB or the web.config file, just to point out
that it will not be hardcoded.
I need to refresh the page as the information displayed on that page is
highly dynamic and need to be refresed very often.
Now I would like to know the best way to achieve this.
I have heard of using the <meta http-equi='refresh'> or then maybe use
javascrip.
But is there nto anything build in the ASP.NET framework?
Best regards,
