Hello,

Is there any way to have an asp.net form automatically post back after a 
set interval?

Currently, I am using a http-quiv="refresh" Content="5" meta statement.  
The problem is that this causes the form_unload overrider to fire which I 
don't want.  I want the unload to fire only if the user closes the browser 
or clicks the cancel button, not when the form is refreshed.

Thank you,

Andrew

Hi

u can have a cookie/session variable  set it to true /false  to 
decide weather form_unload  has ti fire or not .

Ex
form_unload
{
if variable is true then
{
/// all coe in ur unload  procedure goes here
}
}

And with every refresh set the variable to false
and when browser is closed / cancel is clicked then set it to 
true


enjoy
hope this helps!!!
