Properties
The Enabled property specifies whether the procedure should be called at the specified interval. If set to False, the procedure will not be called. This can be set a run-time and design-time.
The interval property specifies how often the procedure is called in milliseconds that takes effect when a Timer control's Enabled property is set to True. For example, a value of 10,000 milliseconds equals 10 seconds. The maximum, 65,535 milliseconds, is equivalent to just over 1 minute. This can be set a run-time and design-time.
Please note that the Timer control is not always accurate, and if your PC is very busy, the Timer event will not fire until it has some free time.

Hi!
I created a control that I named KYNOUAJAXContainer that can be found at http://www.kynou.com/KYNOUControls/KYNOUControls.zip. This control allows you to add regular ASP.NET controls into it and they all become AJAX enabled. You can use this container control as a sort of timer control for ASP.NET. This is because the container control has a property called ShouldRefresh. When this property is set to true, it will refresh the content of all the controls inside of the container every RefreshInterval seconds (RefreshInterval is another property of the container control).
I posted tutorials that will walk you through the steps to use the control at http://www.KYNOU.com under the Tutorial Index => Ajax => KYNOU AJAX Controls link
How could i make a timer activate every 3 hours to check the database and findout any new records were added?
Thanks in advance

Sometimes, if the timer doesn't fire, one can try putting in a doevents statement. [Someone's got any experience with that one?]
