Auto Refresh Example

[Peter]

I have a APS.NET 3.5 webpage which calls a web service.
What I need is to update this page automatically when a value changes in the
webservice, does anyone have an example?


Thank You


Peter

RE: Auto Refresh Example

Hi Peter,

From your description, I understand that you want to call some webservice
in ASP.NET web page, and also want to let the page be updated automatically
when a certain value on server-side get changed(by webservice), correct?

As for the webservice and page, I'd like to confirm the following things:

1. is the webservice method(called in page) a long run webmethod which will
take long time? And is it a local webservice with the ASP.NET pages(in same
project) or a remote one?

2. How do you call it currently? If local, you can call it via ajax, or if
it is a remote one, you have to postback to server-side to call the
webservice.

As far as I know, since webservice itself doesn't support built-in callback
interface to notify client. The common approach to get notify (when a state
at server-side changed) is using timer+polling. In ASP.NET 3.5
application, this can be done via AJAX client-side script. Here is the work
you need to do in the page:

** add a local webservice in ASP.NET project (or a static page method ) so
that you can use AJAX to call it

#Calling Web Services from Client Script in ASP.NET AJAX

http://www.asp.net/AJAX/Documentation/Live/Tutorials/ConsumingWebServicesWit

hAJAXTutorial.a spx

** in page, after you have called that long-run webservice, you can use
javascript to constantly call the above webmethod to query the state at
server-side.

Or you can directly use the AJAX timer control to do this either:

http://www.asp.net/ajax/documentation/live/tutorials/IntroToTimerControl.asp

x

Here are some other web articles introduced some means for implement such
long-run task + status query:

#Real-Time Progress Bar With ASP.NET AJAX

http://www.singingeels.com/Articles/RealTime_Progress_Bar_With_ASPNET_AJAX.a

spx

#Display data updates in real-time with AJAX

http://encosia.com/2007/07/25/display-data-updates-in-real-time-with-ajax/

If you have anything unclear on the specific part, please feel free to let
me know.
