Is it possible to create a countdown timer in asp.net. e.g a timer counting down 1 hr and reflecting the changes.

Well, i guess it comes down to what you want it to do. The timer control that is available in C# and VB does not work in web applications because, simply put, HTTP is a stateless protocol.

(If you need a counting timer on a page for something you can use Javascript or AJAX if you need to make a call to something)

In any case, it all comes down to what you are trying to do. Unless you have some weird database scheme where page updates get placed in X database and only get moved to the production system once an hour and want the web page to move the data for you I don't see what your trying to accomplish. (This would be better set up as a Job in SQL Server anyway)

To answer your question, no, you can not use the .NET timer control in a page to count down.
