Hi-

I think you need to create a window service.. add a timer in the service Schedule it to run after evrey 15 min or any required time interval...

after particular time it will call a function that will check for new alert from DB.. if there is any then take required action..

You can use javascript window.open() to open popup kind of window.
 

strUrl="Contents/LayoutPanel.aspx ";

windowRef = window.open(strUrl, 'popup', 'dependent=YES,dialog=no,resizable=NO,scrollbars=Yes,location=0,left=0,top=0,status=0,menubar=0,toolbar=0,width=1000px,height=700px,modal=yes');
