Refresh timer

[Grtjn]

Hi all,

Is there some way I can let my page refresh let's say every 5 minutes?
Probably you can do this, but I can't seem to find it...
This I would like to insert in my code-behind (C#)!

Kind regards,

Gertjan

Hello Gertjan,

You can use DispatcherTimer to achieve your goal.

Ok.
So I have been searching how to use the dispatchertimer and found some code
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/wpf/gridview/gridview-master-detail-representation-with-card-view-detail.aspx (bottom post by Milan)

My connection with the database is not via Linq2SQL, but webservice. Is there a refresh methode for webservices also?

Edit:
Should I refresh my grid, so that my page refreshes while running?
And I am using a Grid, not the RadGridView...

Kind regards,

Gertjan

Hello GJ DM,

There isn't refresh method that is available for web services. You have to do manually, just on the DipsatcherTimer.Tick handler call your service asynchronously and in the Completed method refresh the grid with the data from the service.
Hope this helps you.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.
But I am not that familiar with the things you said.
Is there any samplecode available that can help me out ?!

Kind Regards,

Because I do need some more help to get this right.

Hi GJ DM,

You can simply get the whole data from the web service on every DispatcherTimer tick. 

public MainPage()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    DispatcherTimer timer = new DispatcherTimer();
    timer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1);
    timer.Tick += new EventHandler(timer_Tick);
    timer.Start();
}

void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // get the whole data
    var updatedData = this.myService.GetData();
    this.myGrid.ItemsSource = updatedData;
}

All the best,
Milan

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. First of all thanks for sharing this code, but it doesn't seem to work for my...

I get two errors. One on my webservice and one on the itemsSource of my grid.

DispatcherTimer timer = new DispatcherTimer();
        timer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30);
        timer.Tick += new EventHandler(timer_Tick);
        timer.Start();
        }
        void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            var updatedData = this.WebService.GetData();
            this.LayoutRoot.ItemsSource = updatedData;
        }

Error 1 'Pie_Rad_Trend.MainPage' does not contain a definition for 'WebService' and no extension method 'WebService' accepting a first argument of type 'Pie_Rad_Trend.MainPage' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) C:\Users\gertjan.demeyer\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Pie_Rad_Trend\Pie_Rad_Trend\MainPage.xaml.cs 59 36 Pie_Rad_Trend

Error 2 'System.Windows.Controls.Grid' does not contain a definition for 'ItemsSource' and no extension method 'ItemsSource' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Windows.Controls.Grid' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) C:\Users\gertjan.demeyer\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Pie_Rad_Trend\Pie_Rad_Trend\MainPage.xaml.cs 60 29 Pie_Rad_Trend

Any help?
Also i have the 2009-Q3 version..
