Dear All,

I am building an ASP.net Webpage and I want to show the current time on real basis.
I am using a Timer for the same.
My code for timer is :-

HTML

<asp:ScriptManager ID = "ScriptManager1"  runat="server">
</asp:ScriptManager>
<asp:Timer ID="Timer1" runat="server" Interval="100" OnTick="Timer1_Tick">
</asp:Timer>
<asp:Label ID = "lblTime" runat="server" Font-Bold="True" Font-Names="Cambria" Font-Size="Small" ForeColor="Lime"></asp:Label>
</td>
</tr>

and the code behind the timer is :-

C#

protected void Timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
     lblTime.Text = "Current Time : " + System.DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString();
 }

When I try to do the same thing in an Windows Application, it works perfect..
Kindly help me with the solution for the same..

Thank you.

XML

You can use following code for this...
between <head>....</head> tag put

<% Response.AddHeader("Refresh", "timeinseconds") %>  OR
<% Response.AddHeader("Refresh", "1") %>
and on page_load  assign
lable.text = DateTime.Now().Tostring("TimeFormate");

Or You can also use Ajax Timer control for this.
