Question

I have a simple view:

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage" %>

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="TitleContent" runat="server">
    Administration
</asp:Content>

<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">   
    <h2>Indexer stats</h2>


    <div id="Stats">
        <% Html.RenderPartial("IndexerStats", CmsModels.Utilities.BackgroundIndexer.Default); %>
    </div>
</asp:Content>

How can I automatically refresh the Partial View “IndexStats” every 10 seconds?

I have found this code, but it doesn’t compile with my version of MVC (2 RC).

Answer 1

Damn it, you spend ages looking for an answer, ask the question and then find the answer imediately afterwards.

Revised code is:

Indexer stats

    <script src="<%=Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.min.js")%>" type="text/javascript"></script>         
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(function() {
            setInterval(function() {
            $.get('<%=Url.Action("IndexerStats")%>', {}, function(view) {
            $("div#IndexerStats").html(view);
                })
            }, 5000);
        }); </script>    

            <div id="IndexerStats">
                <% Html.RenderPartial("IndexerStats"); %>
            </div>
</asp:Content>

However I am open to better ideas, or Html helpers.
