Timer doesnt work

vickey

Hi,
Im trying to make a page which refreshes by itself.For that i have added a timer
with following properties:
Autoreset = true
Enabled = true
interval = 30000
Name = timer1
on timer1_elapsed i have added the following code:
Private Sub Timer1_Elapsed(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As _
System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs) Handles Timer1.Elapsed

Label2.Text = "time is: " + Now.ToString

End Sub

But this does not result in label showing current time after its been loaded.
Any idea why? Also how can i make it work?
Thanks

check out the posting "Refreshing a page programatically" 02/04/2004

or use this within your html tags
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="15">
</head>

content relates to the number of seconds

Once the page is served, it doesn't exist any more server side. You'll have
to do this client side. For example using

You're mixing up server-side and client-side here. An ASP.Net Page has two
different and separate parts to it. One is the server-side code that
generates the HTML in the other, which is the client-side document. Your
code is server-side code. The server-side class lives for a matter of
milliseconds, long enough to generate the HTML that is sent to the browser.
Your timer will never fire. What I would suggest is doing the same thing,
but on the client-side, using JavaScript.
