Timer control please help

[swiv]

I'm trying to create a Chat Room. When the chat room.aspx loads I want a timer to keep refreshing every 5 seconds that calls a routine that calls the database for user text.

I've tried using

Sub Page_Load(etc...)
Dim aTimer As New System.Timers.Time(5000)
AddHandler t.Enabled, AddressOf myFunction

aTimer.Enabled = True
End Sub

Sub myFunction(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As ElapsedEventArgs)

//something happens

End Sub

but it doesn't seem to work

any ideas

You can try using Meta Tags for this:

<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT=&quot;10; URL=http://www.dotnet-webhosting.com/&quot;>

I am using Meta Refresh at the moment but it makes the page blink and I was hoping to use the smart navigation control to make it look neater.
