If I want to implement something similar to a stockticker, should I use a timer, or is there a way to update an element inside a webpage(like a gridview), when there is a changeon the server?

Description
I strongly suggest to use SignalR. The benefit is that you dont think about browser compatibilty. It uses polling, long polling or websockets depending on what the browser supports. It allows to push changes to the client, is opensource and easy to set up. Check out SignalR Stock Ticker Sample
You can instal it using nuget.
