Question

I made a very simple pannel updating wich will query a database and show a message on masterpage through a label.

Thus, I’ve put an updatePannel with a label and a timer within (obviously with a scriptManager) in my site’s masterpage.

However, when I try to interact with the timer1 object, I receive an error message: “object not set to an instance of an object“. I not receive this message when placing the schema in a blank page (without masterpage).

I must to run the query in masterpage because the users need to receive information whatever they are in my site.

How can I correctly place the components to do this work? what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks!

Answer 1

The problem was where I was putting the panel, label and timer. I put in contentPlaceHolder, where the problem occours. Now I put the control in the form tag, then the problem is solved.
