Postback using a timer

[Amil Hanish]

I want to have a slideshow on a asp.net page. I would like to perform a
asp.net POSTBACK (not a normal meta refresh) every n seconds. I want a
asp:Button on my page to start the show. When it is clicked, I want to then
modify the postback url of the button to stop the show (the text would
change to "Stop" as well). I was hoping there was some way to insert some
type of script that would execute the postback js that asp.net already
uses...even if I had to add the registerstartup scriptblock or something.

This needs to be a postback, not the normal meta refresh as there is lots of
other things that go on based on a asp.net postback occurring.

Re: Postback using a timer

I ended up using a combination of javascript setTimer and .net 2.0
Page.ClientScri pt.GetPostBackE ventReference(P ostBackOptions) . This works
very nicely.
