Dashboard display kiosk style

[SRussell]

I have been tasked with generating a kiosk display that is comprised of two
grids and one graph. I'll be showing daily production of the plant to areas
of management in real-time displays. I need to update every so often, and
that will be data driven I'm sure :) I'm guessing updates of every 2 min.

So can you put these three controls on a SINGLE web page or winform and why
would you and or I choose one over the other?

Can you force an update of a webpage via a timer event?

Thanks for a nudge in the right direction here. I'm getting the docs
together on the easier data entry part of the system for now.

TIA

Web pro's are that it's easy to distribute to multiple machines from one
server, where a winform needs to be installed on each client individually...
Pro's for Win form is that you can update each control "easier".

Refreshing a web form is easy enough through meta tags...

I'm sure you'd get a different response over which is better each time to
mention it.

The dreaded tabs or spaces discussion? :)

So how can I force the refresh of a page that is presented.

This is a tiny app that won't have much of an interface change (wishful
thinking) and all data will be don via SP, so it's not a recompile of the
dlls.

I am trying to get management to see how much good is going on the shop
floor, and then if and when an issue pops up, see that it's corrected. They
are so focused on the # or wrongs in a day the are clueless to the good
flawless pieces that are never counted.

So I'll be doing a graph of Good, Needs Fixing, Fixed. A grid of needs
fixing, and a grid of the station by most fixes per day.

I get the mgmt buy in because I'm giving them the group/person to yell at in
real time.

So do you think it would be easy to reset the page easily once a min or
every other min.?

Thanks.
