Hi, HTML header refresh tag The most common and best known way - a tag of the following format is placed in the HTML section of the page: meta http-equiv ="refresh" content ="8;url=http://dotnet.org.za/"> where '8' refers to the number of seconds that will elapse before the page is refreshed; 'url' is the new url redirect to. It can be excluded which means the current page will be reloaded. Response.AppendHeader method ASP.NET provides the AppendHeader method to the Response object. Typically the page refresh can be set as follows in an ASP.NET webform (in C#): this .Response.AppendHeader("Refresh", Convert.ToString(Session.Timeout * 60 + 5)); Here the page refresh is set to 5 seconds after the client session timeout setting specified in the web.config file.
