Examples

The following example shows an UpdatePanel control that displays a randomly generated stock price and the time that the stock price was generated. By default, the Timer control updates the content in the UpdatePanel control every 10 seconds. The user can decide to update the stock price every 10 seconds, every 60 seconds, or not at all. When the user decides not to update the stock price, the Enabled property is set to false.

Remarks

Use the Enabled property to turn the Timer control on and off. When you set Enabled to true, the Timer control starts its timer countdown when the Web page is rendered.

On postback, you can change property values in the Enabled property, and the changes will be reflected when the Web page content is rendered in the browser. If you change the Enabled property and then change it back to its original value during the same postback, the Timer control runs as if no change had been made.
