how to display a label only a while?

[Cas]

Hi,

I want to display a label a few seconds, then make it invisible.
I tried with for next, but it doesn't work.

Thanks for help

Hi Cas,

it would work if you placed an application.doevents()
within the loop. But do not do it.

Place a timer and take care of the label when the
first event fires. Then you can disable or dispose the timer.

Hi, thanks for replying ..

I tried this but the label doesn't appear: (the label must appear 3 seconds
when the record is inserted in the detailsview).

Do you see the error?
Thanks again

Protected Sub DetailsView1_ItemInserted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DetailsViewInsertedEvent Args) Handles
DetailsView1.ItemInserted
Dim t As New Timers.Timer(3000)
AddHandler t.Elapsed, AddressOf TimerFired
t.Enabled = True
End Sub

Public Sub TimerFired(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs)
Label1.Text = "yes!"
End Sub

I thought you were talking about a win application.

On web apps the events are done on the server. So if there
is no postback you will not see the result.
