Question

I have a page that is hitting a webservice every 5 seconds to update the information on the page. I’m using the DynamicPopulateExtender from the Ajax Control Toolkit to just populate a panel with some text.

What I was wanting to do, is if a certain condition is met, to refresh the page completely.

Am I going to be able to do this in the current method that I have? here’s my current stuff:

---

ASP.NET

<cc1:DynamicPopulateExtender ID='DynamicPopulateExtender1' runat='server' ClearContentsDuringUpdate='true' TargetControlID='panelQueue' BehaviorID='dp1' ServiceMethod='GetQueueTable' UpdatingCssClass='dynamicPopulate_Updating' /> 

Javascript

Sys.Application.add_load(function(){updateQueue();});      function updateQueue()     {         var queueShown = document.getElementById('<%= hiddenFieldQueueShown.ClientID %>').value;          if(queueShown == 1)         {             var behavior = $find('dp1');             if (behavior)             {                 behavior.populate();                                     setTimeout('updateQueue()', 5000);             }         }     } 

SERVER (C#)

[System.Web.Services.WebMethod]     [System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptMethod]     public static string GetQueueTable()     {         System.Text.StringBuilder builder = new System.Text.StringBuilder();          try         {              // do stuff         }         catch (Exception ex)         {              // do stuff         }          return builder.ToString();     }

• You can’t do anything from your ASMX.
• You can refresh the page from JavaScript by using a conventional page reload or by doing a postback that would perform server-side changes and then update via your UpdatePanel or, more simply, a Response.Redirect.
