Question

I have a user control loaded on the default.aspx page using the

Control UControl = null;

UControl = this.LoadControl("UserControl1.ascx");

 UControl.ID = UControl.GetType().Name;
                    panel1.Controls.Add(UControl);

Now I want to refresh only the content of the user control not all the page.

I already used

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="300">

and

Response.AppendHeader("Refresh", "2");

But these are refreshing the entire default.aspx page.

How I can only refresh the user control without refreshing the default.aspx.

You need to look into the <asp:UpdatePanel> control. You can use it with a timer as well to auto refresh, or hook it into a trigger such as button or link.

Try here on the offical asp.net site:

But a simple search will also produce plenty of tutorials.
