If you are using session variables to populate the page on each refresh it
makes it a bit hard (as each refresh will access the session vars). You will
need someway to distinguish between an automated refresh via the client side
timer, and actual activity. You'll probably need to make sure that session
is not used to populate the page, or that session is used on inital load and
the "refresh" is done really as a postback with a special argument, and
viewstate is used to maintain the screen state.

I have a web page which is periodically refreshing itself with data from
the server. However I dont want this activity to counted towards the session's
"activity counter" i.e. if a user does nothing on the page for 20 mins
then I want the session to time out even though the page has been refreshing
itself in the background.
Any ideas?
