Answer 2

I think if you can do it by manually then using that code also it should work.
Probably I need to check your pageload code.....

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

Are you facing any problem to refresh the page with that code?

Answer 5

i used this but problem is still same.........

Answer 6

If you made any changes in textfile you need to refresh the page because the page is loaded before with old set of data. If you made any changes in textfile it will not aware of that untill you refresh it manually.
You can use the folllowing code in <head></head> tag to refresh the page automatically.
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
   
    <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5">
</head>
Note: I have given content value is 5. So after every 5 second it will refresh the page. You can increase or decrease the time frame.

Answer 7

i tried it but not solved.
actually i use applet for ticker.
data in ticker coming from text file when i make changes in text file chnaged data not reflecting immediately it reflected after browser refresh.

Answer 8

Try this code to clear the cache:
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
Response.Expires = 0;
Response.ExpiresAbsolute = Convert.ToDateTime(DateTime.Today.AddDays(-1));
Response.AddHeader("pragma", "no-cache");
Response.AddHeader("cache-control", "private");
Response.CacheControl = "no-cache";

Answer 9

use Timer to overcome this problem.

void Timer_Tick()
{
call the function to be refreshed.
}

put the Ticker control in the Update Panel and write the code to be refreshed in the Timer Tick event as shown above.

your problem will get solved.
