I'm using SQLDependency to catch changes in my database.
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/How-to-use-SqlDependency-5c0da0b3

This code really works. When I'm changing something in table, event is fired.

C#
private void RefreshWithSqlDependency()
 {
     iquery = from order in context.Order
              where order.Client.Nickname==nickName && order.StatusId!=5
              select new { Id = order.Id, Description = order.Description, OrderStatus = order.Status.Name };

     notification = new ImmediateNotificationRegister<Order>(context, iquery);
     notification.OnChanged += NotificationOnChanged;
 }

 protected void NotificationOnChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
     BindOrderDataList(); //this is executed
 }


Inside BindOrderDataList method, I'm setting datasource of my datalist.

C#
private void BindOrderDataList()
{
    DataListOrders.DataSource = context.Order.Where(x => x.Client.Nickname == nickName && x.StatusId != 5)
        .Select(x => new { Id = x.Id, Description = x.Description, OrderStatus = x.Status.Name }).ToList();
    DataListOrders.DataBind();
}


Of course nothing happened. Then I put Datalist inside UpdatePanel.

                <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClick="NotificationOnChanged" />

            </Triggers>
        </asp:UpdatePanel>


When I'm clicking this Button1 same method as in RefreshWithSqlDependency is executed (NotificationOnChanged) and this is working...
Is there any event that would force UpdatePanel to update when content in DataList changes?

I already tried delegate to raise update event in UpdatePanel...

C#
protected void NotificationOnChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        BindOrderDataList();

        LongTimeTask_Delegate d = new LongTimeTask_Delegate(LongTimeTask);
        IAsyncResult r = d.BeginInvoke("String", new AsyncCallback(TaskCompleted), null);
        d.EndInvoke(r);
    }

    public delegate void LongTimeTask_Delegate(string str);
    public void LongTimeTask(string str)
    {
        Thread.Sleep(50);
    }

    public void TaskCompleted(IAsyncResult r)
    {
        UpdatePanelOrdersList.Update();
    }


but no success... I don't want to use timer or anything like that. This need to be updated on database change method - RefreshWithSqlDependency.
