Updating a web page from an application

I want to have a web page that reports the real-time "status" of an
application. It must be updated with changes in status, which may occur as
frequently as once a second. What is the best way to model this in ASP? I
haven't dealt with web pages that reflect changes not insitgated by the ebd
user before.

Many thanks,

Andrew Chalk

Thanks for the fast response, Stan.

Does your first suggestion work in ASP.NET v1.1? Are the improvements in
v2.0, in regard to this problem, huge? I.e. I might think of moving my
fledgling application up to 2.0 on account of this?

Many thanks

Take a look at:

Client Side Callbacks (ASP.NET 2.0 - works in IE only)
AJAX (Multi-Browser)
Javascript Remoting (Multi-Browser... older technology)
Dart Live Controls (Commercial Product)

However, you'll need to know some basic Javascript to do this sort of
thing.

the only way to do this with a browser is thru polling. the simplest
solution is an iframe with a meta refresh tag.

Thanks. One more. Can you refer me to any tutorial/example URLs on
Javascript remoting?

Many thanks,

Andrew

Client-Side CallBacks are built into ASP.NET 2.0, but they only work with
IE.

The rest of the technologies I quoted work for 1.1 or 2.0.
