AJAX UpdatePanel and Stopping Timer Trigger
Michael O'Neill
* asp.net 2.0 page,
* an AJAX 1.0 ScriptManager,
* Timer
* UpdatePanel bound to the timer
Via the Timer's Tick delegate, I seem to be unable to stop the timer
or disassociate the timer from the UpdatePanel's triggers or otherwise
stop the recurring update of the UpdatePanel without a full post
back. Any clue how I can get the Tick event to stop?

The timer doesn't need to be started, per se. It starts when it is
constructed and if the Enabled property is True. All I supply to the
timer is a millisecond value for the Interval property
> how do you associate the timer to the UpdatePanel trigger?
I used both the Properties gui interface and by code via the panel's
Triggers property Add method without any difference on way or the
other.
I'm still trying a few things. I've gotten it to work in ways I don't
want to implement. When I get it, I'll share how I did it.

If you don't know what a Timer is I suggest you Google, Charles.

I think the .NET 2.0 Framework documentation can more suitably answer
your questions...if you aren't familiar with the System.Web.UI.Timer
class, then you probably can't add to anything I'm already trying.
Thanks, though.

Alas, Charles, in today’s attention-deficit world, the Socratic Method is often mistaken for offensive or just plain stupid behaviour, rather than an attempt to elicit the correct response to an asker’s question from the asker.

For the class definition, I cannot see any more effective answer than
referencing the fully qualified class name in the .NET Framework.
Regurgitating MSDN documentation is not something anyone on this forum
should do, no matter who asks for that hoop to be jumped through.
As far as the function prototype or prototypes I'm using with the
relevant classes methods, that could be highly relevant, but I'm
stipulating that they are not. If you disagree with my stipulation,
your only suitable recourse is to disagree (via a post, or not) and
walk away.
For any given question posted to this forum, sometimes you are given
enough information to weigh in with your insight on an issue. For
this question, if you don't think you have enough information, there's
nothing I can do to convince you otherwise. Your position is
defensible, but not worth my time argue. Likewise, there's not much
you can do to convince me that more information is needed.
In a forum of impersonal interaction, too much information -
information that is not relevant - is just noise.

I didn’t say he was very GOOD at it.
I merely inferred that this is what he was attempting, with his questions, based on his comment (that he’s not getting the specific
answer that he’s looking for, as well as the allusion to what the answer might be), and on months of reading his responses. J

only participant. Charles rarely gets any takers, for various
reasons, to accomplish the back and forth (and intellectual honesty)
it requires. Is it even a method suitable for micro-technical
questions?

tick event delegate works I included the timer inside the update
panel.
Now I have a web page with an updating panel that stops updating
conditionally, which is what I wanted.

I never doubt this. You are a sincere and relevant contributor in
this forum.

This, I think, is where your style differs from mine. In order to
increase the signal to noise ratio, I believe exposing the full scope
is generally counterproductive. I prefer to see a digestible, most
relevant, chunk of background information.
