Refresh "other" frame via ASP?

[Bill Cohagan]

I'm trying out ASP.Net and am currently trying to figure out how to refresh
the contents of one frame based on a button click in another frame. The
button in question is actually a server side control whose associated action
is to add a record to a database table. The "other" frame is displaying a
view of that table and I want it to automatically refresh to display the new
record.

Is there a way to accomplish this via ASP; i.e., without client side script?
Alternatively, do you know if I can have both client *and* server side
script associated with a button? Surely there is a "pattern" for this!

Boy it hurts to learn something new!

Thanks in advance,

Bill

google this newsgroup for details (pattern), but yes the refresh must be
done with client script, so you may need to combine if you need server
support also.

Hi Bill,

Firstly I want to thank Bruce for this great help in this issue.

The server-side code has no sense to the html frameset, for only browser
makes sense to this concept. That is, we should look for a client-side
approach.

However, we can emit the appropriate client-side script that is used to
refresh other frames through the RegisterStartupScript method from
server-side code. The RegisterStartupScript method allows ASP.NET server
controls to emit client-side script blocks in the page. For more info on
this method, please check the articles below:

Please let me know if it helps.
