Hi,

I would like to know how to implement situation when the Web server need to send some event to the client browser because of some changes in the DB.

My question are:

1.How could I get the notification of this event from the client if the client itself isn't asking the server ??

2.Is the only way to solve this problem is to poll the server at intervals ??

3.Is it recommended in that case to use Win Forms because Web Forms can't handle this scenario ??



Thanks

As far as any kind of listening, that would involve polling from any app. It can be done from a web client with polling but you would need AJAX to prevent the page from popping every time it polls. Web based chat programs do the same thing. They either create a JSP chat client that polls the chat server or AJAX it to receive only the data needed to populate the fields you are polling to get.
