Constantly repeating timer in an asp.net ajax page

Question

Today I had my first test with the ASP.NET AJAX Timer Control, in hope that it would allow me to constantly keep updating my site.

At the moment, it just updates once; this does not match the behavior of the previous .NET timers.

Was the AJAX Timer control only made to update an item once? Or do I need to use another framework?

Nope, it updates regularly. Make sure your timer is Enabled and the Interval is set correctly, and try putting it in an UpdatePanel. Works for my page * link in profile page.

You could try to check your implementation against what is described in this tutorial on MSDN (Walkthrough).

"The Timer control can work as a trigger either inside or outside an UpdatePanel control. This example shows how to use the Timer control inside an UpdatePanel control. For an example of using a Timer control as a trigger outside an UpdatePanel control, see Walkthrough: Using the ASP.NET Timer Control with Multiple UpdatePanel Controls."

Look at the setInterval function. A good explanation of it is here.
