Refreshing ListView in asp:webform using UpdatePanel

I have a listview that I want to update every 5 seconds or so, the update panel does refresh but to no effect.
<asp:Timer runat="server" ID="UP_Timer" Interval="5000" />
<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" ID="Proc_UpdatePanel">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:ListView ID="ListView1" runat="server"
DataKeyNames="procName"
ItemType="SerMon.RemoteProcess" SelectMethod="fetchFromQueue">
<EmptyDataTemplate>
<table>
<tr>
<td>No data was returned.</td>
</tr>
</table>
</EmptyDataTemplate>
<EmptyItemTemplate>
<td />
</EmptyItemTemplate>
<LayoutTemplate>
<table runat="server" id="table1" class="table table-striped table-hover ">
<thead>
<tr runat="server">
<th>#</th>
<th>Process</th>
<th>Status</th>
<th>Machine</th>
</tr>
<tr id="itemPlaceholder" runat="server"></tr>
</thead>
</table>
</LayoutTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<tr runat="server">
<td>1</td>
<td>
<asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblId"><%#: Item.ProcName%></asp:Label></td>
<td>
<asp:Label runat="server" ID="Label1"><%#: Item.Procstatus%></asp:Label></td>
<td>
<asp:Label runat="server" ID="Label2"><%#: Item.mcName%></asp:Label></td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
The whole page refreshes, yet the method to be called for populating the listview is not called. Where am I going wrong?

There are 2 different issues here.
First of all the Timer is outside the UpdatePanel, so of course it will do a full PostBack. Move the timer inside the UpdatePanel.
Second, you did not specify an OnTick event for the timer. Without it the Timer will just refresh the page.
<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" ID="Proc_UpdatePanel">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:Timer runat="server" ID="UP_Timer" Interval="5000" OnTick="UP_Timer_Tick" />
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
Code behind:
protected void UP_Timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//update the ListView
}

AsyncPostBackTrigger not working in Update Panel

Currently in my visual WebPart Contains update panel , but it not working, it post back the whole page
my code
My .aspx code
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<div>
<div class="leftSection">
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlYear" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True">
<asp:ListItem Text="2015" Value="2015"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text="2016" Value="2016"></asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
<div class="frmDate"><p>From</p>
<SharePoint:DateTimeControl ID="from" runat="server" DateOnly="True" AutoPostBack="true" MaxDate="8900-12-31" MinDate="2015-07-31" OnDateChanged="from_DateChanged" Calendar="1" IsRequiredField="true" ErrorMessage="Please Select From Date"/>
</div>
<div class="lastDate">
<p>
To
</p>
<SharePoint:DateTimeControl ID="to" runat="server" DateOnly="True" OnDateChanged="to_DateChanged" AutoPostBack="true" OnValueChangeClientScript="holidayDates()" IsRequiredField="true" ErrorMessage="Plaese Select To Date" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="rightSection">
<div id="testdiv" runat="server">
</div>
<asp:Label CssClass="hdn-lbl lblFromDate" ID="lblFromDate" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
<asp:Label CssClass="hdn-lbl lblToDate" ID="lblToDate" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
<asp:Label CssClass="hdn-lbl lblTotalHrs" ID="lblTotalHrs" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
<asp:Button ID="save" runat="server" Text="SUBMIT" OnClientClick="return cal()" OnClick="save_Click" />
</div>
</div>
</ContentTemplate>
<Triggers>
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="save" />
</Triggers>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
**after click on Submit Button it Post back total page **

Your save button is in your UpdatePanel by default you should use the ChildrenAsTriggers property of your UpdatePanel (set to true by default) and not AsyncPostBackTrigger.
Edit:
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
//...
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
No external triggers just children as triggers, and default value as ChildrenAsTriggers is True equivalent to :
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" ChildrenAsTriggers="true">

update textbox from code behind

I'm in the process of converting an application into an ASP.NET Website. The way the page works is that the user puts in a list of machines in the box then click start, it goes through the list runs the checks and outputs the status and results to a text box on the left. In addition it puts a processing icon beside the check mark as it runs a check and removes it when the check is done. In my .NET application it works fine, but I can't figure out how to do it in ASP.NET
I've tried using Ajax controls to do this so I enclosed the status box in an update panel and put a timer that updates the panel every second.
In the code behind, right now I have a function that just rights out some test text to the results text panel, along with a 3 second pause to simulate the code in the back ground. However it doesn't update the panel until the function finishes instead of each time the text is updated.
In classic ASP I would have written the status out to either a text file or a DB and just set the page to reload on a regular basis and retrieve the information until done flag was hit and then stop the reloads. I was trying to avoid making all those call backs if I could help it. I was hoping there was a better way to do it, but if there isn't I could make just the update panel call back but I'm still not entirely sure how to turn the processing icons on and off.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

}
protected void StartCheck(object sender,EventArgs e)
{
Load1.Visible = true;
Load2.Visible = true;
txtStatus.Text = "Test 1";
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000);
txtStatus.Text += "Test 2";
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000);
txtStatus.Text += "Test 3";
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000);
Load1.Visible = false;
Load2.Visible = false;
}
protected void StatusTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
StatusPanel.Update();
}

So it seems the problem is in your "Start" button's function.
If you just add:
txtStatus.Text += "Tick\n";
to your tick event, you can see that your page is updating.
The problem is that After you click the button, the page doesn't receive a response until the StartCheck function finishes (Even the ticking stops).

Update panel in master page and asp fileupload in child page

i'm facing a problem, currently i'm having a update panel in my master page and in one of my child page i'm having a asp fileupload control.
My update Panel in master p[age:
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
</asp:ScriptManager>
<asp:updateprogress associatedupdatepanelid="UpdatePanel1"
id="updateProgress" runat="server">
<progresstemplate>
<div id="processMessage" style=" background-image:url('../../Styles/ajax-loader3.gif'); width:100px; height:100px; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:center;">
</div>
</progresstemplate>
</asp:updateprogress>
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<ContentTemplate>
..
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
</form>
My Child page which needs a fileupload:
<div id="Annoucments" class="ContentDIV">
<h2 class="Tabheader">Annoucments</h2>
<p class="tabdescription">Here you will be able to upload announcements and pictures to be displayed in the login page, below is the current announcement click on update to save the changes that you have made.</p>
<table width = "100%">
<tr>
<td class="Tablabel">Annoucment title:</td> <td class="tableInput" align="left"><asp:TextBox ID="Announcement_TB" runat="server" CssClass="textboxTabs"></asp:TextBox></td>
<td class="Tablabel">Picture/Poster:</td> <td class="tableInput" align="left"><asp:FileUpload ID="Announcement_PIC" runat="server" CssClass="textboxTabsFiles"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="Tablabel">Description:</td> <td class="tableInput" align="left"><asp:TextBox ID="Announcement_Desc" CssClass="textboxTabs" runat="server" Rows="3" TextMode="MultiLine"></asp:TextBox></td>
</tr>
<tr><td colspan="4" style="height:10px" id ="BLANK">
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
</td></tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="right"><input type="button" id="Announcement_Update" runat="server" value="Update" class="TabButton" onserverclick="ANNOUNCEMENT_UPDATE_Click" style=" font-size:smaller"/></td><td colspan="2"> <input type="button" ID="ANNOUNCEMENT_Cancel" runat="server" value="Cancel" class="TabButton" style=" font-size:smaller"/></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
*When i click the button Announcement_Update backend codes will be triggered to get my filename, the file name returned will always be "" found out while debugging.*

Put this code in child page, to pass PostBackTrigger for file upload.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
UpdatePanel updatePanel = Page.Master.FindControl("UpdatePanel1") as UpdatePanel;
UpdatePanelControlTrigger trigger = new PostBackTrigger();
trigger.ControlID = Announcement_Update.UniqueID;
updatePanel.Triggers.Add(trigger);
}
enjoy coding :)

You can't get filename inside that UpdatePanel
either remove that UpdatePanel from your code or use Asynchronous File Uploader,
Alternatively you could use Ajax File Uploading techniques this is a little tricky though.

Asp UpdatePanel not work inside a update panel duw to postback issue.
You can add trigger with the button assosiated with uploader like
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Click" />
</ContentTemplate>
<Triggers>
<asp:PostBackTrigger ControlID="Button1" />
</Triggers>
</asp:UpdatePanel>

It works for me if you add the Trigger, but also make sure to edit to form tag to include:
<form runat="server" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Show a Loading Message using master pages while page loads data asp.net

I have spent hours Googling and searching past questions but have struggled to get anywhere with those answers (be it I can't get it into my solution correctly or it isn't suitable for me as they don't have master pages).
My question is, I have a couple of asp.net pages which can take a while to load (sometimes 5 seconds+) as there is a lot of data being requested from a database on the Page_Load method. To stop users from thinking that the page has crashed and either refreshing the page or doing something else, I want to put up a Loading message hiding everything else on the page (apart from the menu) while it loads.
I am using ASP.Net 4.0 with master pages and coding in C#.
The one where I get the most success is using the UpdatePanel on my master page where the content template covers the contentplaceholder, however I know this is not the best way to go about it and anyway it only shows up once, i.e. The user logs in, the loading message appears and once all the data has loaded on the home page (dashboard.aspx) the loading message disappears, which is kind of what I want. However if the user goes away from that page and then clicks home the loading message never appears again, just takes a while to load. It also never appears for any other page that takes a noticeable time to load.
Below is the body of the master.aspx
<body>
<form runat="server">
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">

Could you please show me the best way to go about it and where I am going wrong? Also how I can hide the ContentTemplate when the UpdateProgress template is showing that would be great?
Thanks.

Okay so I figured it out what I was doing wrong, I thought I would post what I did to hopefully help someone else who might end up with the same issues...
Basically I hadn't thought about it logically. There are controls outside the update panel such as a NavigationMenu which would never fire the update progress because they had nothing to do with the Panel! I had to add triggers to the update panel to deal with all the things that happen outside the panel.
So, in my master page I had the following code
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="MainContent" runat="server" />
</ContentTemplate>
<Triggers>
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="NavigationMenu" />
</Triggers>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
<asp:UpdateProgress ID="progress" runat="server" DynamicLayout="true" DisplayAfter="0">
<ProgressTemplate>
<div id="overlay">
<div id="modalprogress">
<div id="theprogress">
<asp:Image ID="loader" runat="server" ImageAlign="AbsMiddle" ImageUrl="~/images/loader.gif" />
Please wait...
</div>
</div>
</div>
</ProgressTemplate>
</asp:UpdateProgress>
<asp:UpdatePanelAnimationExtender ID="UpdatePanel1_UpdatePanelAnimationExtender"
runat="server" Enabled="True" TargetControlID="UpdatePanel1">
</asp:UpdatePanelAnimationExtender>
Hopefully that will help someone else!

You can use UpdateProgress control. You can get it From Toll box under Ajax Extensions Tab.
I am describing you a scenario:
Suppose I have One Upadate Panel name UpdatePnl1 , In that I have a Button Say GO.when we hit on go it should redirect to another page. before that it will promt you please wait.
Now my Code will be like that
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePnl1" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="BtnGO" runat="server" Text="GO" onclick="BtnGO_Click"/>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:Updatepanel>
Button click code:
protected void BtnGO_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Redirect("Example.aspx");
}
Now here is the code for UpdateProgress what you need to add
<asp:UpdateProgress ID="UpdateProgress1" runat="server" AssociatedUpdatePanelID="UpdatePnl1" >
<ProgressTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="LblWaitMsg" runat="server" Text="Processing Request, Please Wait..."></asp:Label>
</ProgressTemplate>
</asp:UpdateProgress>
Note: Your page Should contain ScriptManager.
