Web application timer

One of my web applications needs a timer similar to window timer. I already tried some free software packages downloaded from Internetbut none of them work satisfactorily. Could you please help me out?

Chances are, if you use a component for a timer, it will just end up using some form of javascript timer. I haven't seen any timer controls except for AJAX timers.

I'd recommend searching around for timer javascript libraries. it might be tricky to find "the perfect one".

You cannot use System.Timer as DiscountASP disables all lengthy running processes.

In order to schedule a task I either the DiscountASP Schedule Task facility and schedule a webpage, or you can use the META tag REFRESH functionality, or last prize is javascript. Use of each of these depends on what you want to do. The latter two require that you have a webpage open continually.

What are you trying to do with the timer? The only way to create timer events is with javascript, activex or some sort of other embedded media like flash.

Give us an idea of what you're trying to accomplish and maybe we can help you find something.

Some portions of my web application use Javasript window.setTimeout or Window.SetInterval while the other portions involve recursivefunctions with some parameters, which, through my own experimentation,yield inaccurateoutputs. The same codeshows expected outputs using a winForm with a window timer. That's why I consider using some component similar to a window timer for the troubled portions of my web application.


Thank you for your response.
