Hi to all,

I have developed a CRM application, in which I need to remind user to call a customer, followup and all things.

I am saving date and time in database for the same. But I don't know how to how to give a popup reminder to user...

I want to give popup notification on webpage only.(no email, no sms)
Should I create a service for same or some kind of function which will check database per second..

My Framework is 3.5
Please advice.

Why ASP.NET? Does it have to be a Web application? It would limit you and not good for accuracy, will overuse the resources/traffic.

Yeh, it is a web application, and database is also online. So that user can access it from any where.

Well, the solution is quite possible but boring... I hope Solution 1 gives you the idea...

Solution 1

A simple solution would be to deploy a timer that queries the server at specific intervals to check if an update has occured.
If there is an update, display a popup on the UI.

However, a better solution would be to implement a WCF service that makes use of duplex communication to update the UI of changes on the server. Try http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms731064.aspx[^].

Solution 2

Thank to all for replying on this post.

But I have solved this problem.

I have added Iframe and created another page, which fires a trigger after every 1 min on database. It checks time and registers a Client Script popup on browser.

No hole page PostBacking, no any JQuery & no any third party utility.

Job done
Thank to all once again.

Please find sample code at below link.

Thank You
