Hi guys, I am still newbie in asp.net I want to refresh gridview every 30 seconds using timer and I have got the problem with calling non-static function to databind the gridview. here is example of my code Timer AlertTimer = null; protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { //load to gridviewAlarm for the first time Alert a = new Alert(); DataTable dt = new DataTable(); a.LoadAlarmFromDB(ref dt); gridviewAlarm.DataSource = dt; gridviewAlarm.DataBind(); AlertTimer = new Timer(); AlertTimer.Start(); AlertTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(AlertTimer_Elapsed); AlertTimer.Interval = 30000; } public static void AlertTimer_Elapsed(object source, ElapsedEventArgs e) { Alert a = new Alert(); DataTable dt= new DataTable(); a.LoadAlarm(ref dt); **//in here how to call bindGridView() // i have tried those below //but it doesnt work** //Test_MasterPage M = new Test_MasterPage(); //M.bindGridView(); } public void bindGridView() { gridviewAlarm.DataSource = ""; gridviewAlarm.DataBind(); gridviewAlarm.DataSource = m_AlarmDT; gridviewAlarm.DataBind(); } how do i call non static function in static function? thanks so much for the help Regards, Arif

I think you can not able to call a non-static method from a static method,may be you can change your static function to normal function or you can change the normal function into a delegate function.

You are kind of right, and yet, utterly wrong.

I see that. You're obviously not writing commercial code, this isn't good enough for a beginners class. So, I suggest you either take a class, or buy a book and work through all of it. If you're writing commercial code, then you're a liar and a thief. Your basic problem is that you don't have the slightest clue how ASP.NET works. Your server is doing NOTHING after your page is delivered. To get a page to auto refresh, you need a timer on the client, not on the server.

Perhaps you ought to rephrase that. There is actually a method to refresh a page WITHOUT a timer AND from the client. Add the following meta tag to your page; <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="900;URL={the fully qualified url of the page to be refreshed}" /> '900' represents the amount of time between refreshes.
