If you are using jQuery or open to it, you can use a JavaScript timer to trigger the refresh and use jQuery’s Ajax support to perform the actual refresh.

UPDATE
To address your comment about using the code-behind to do the refresh.
Once the server-side code runs, it returns HTML to the browser. The browser then renders that HTML. The server has absolutely no way to change the HTML code on its own after the code has been delivered to the browser. Only the browser can do that, by reaching out to the server (or potentially a different server) and requesting new data and changing the HTML itself in response to that request. The most common way to do that is with an Ajax call, though there are other technologies like Web Sockets that can accomplish similar things.
