Hi everybody,

I want to use Timer in asp.net 2.0 project, but I do not know how to use it.

Can I use AJAX with Timer or using Thread with it?

I want to update value in database every 5 seconds but just if user is authenticated
then, what is the best approach

And how to do this anyway?

Solution 1

Try Google[^].
I always find MSDN[^] a good place to start too.
I think with the examples you can find there you should be able to implement the Timer in your ASP project :)

Makes no sense. I would understand if you wanted to poll database, but the update means modification of the data in the database; you need it only when data should be changed.
