I have an Timer on my webpage and for testing I filled its onTick event with an Respose.Redirect.

    <asp:UpdatePanel runat="server">
        <ContentTemplate> 
            <asp:Timer ID="tiUpdater" runat="server" OnTick="GetTime" Interval="1000" />
        </ContentTemplate>
    </asp:UpdatePanel>


    protected void GetTime(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Response.Redirect("~");
    }

I discovered that if I have my page open in a second tab, both pages refresh each second but after I click in one tab any button, the timer on the second page stops refreshing.

Do you have an explanation for this behaviour?

  • The information in this question is not enough to give an answer, try pasting the entire code behind if you can. There is probably something "static" going on. – Sumit Maingi Jun 28 '16 at 09:17

Give more info pls, past the entire code behind if you can.

I would suggest you try the Javascript nonetheless, there is no need for the server to recieve a call just to refresh the page.

See this for the JS solution: How to automatically reload a page after a given period of inactivity

In case you are targeting an environment where JS cannot be enabled, try the meta tag way: 

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; URL=http://www.yourdomain.com/yoursite.html">

5 is seconds here.
