Timer in UpdatePanel - c#

I have an asp:UpdatePanel with an asp:Timer. These are in a Master/Content Page. The code is below:
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:Timer ID="Timer1" runat="server" Interval="5000" OnTick="Timer1_Tick"></asp:Timer>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
But when the timer fires, I get the folowing error:
Microsoft JScript runtime error: Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerParserErrorException: The message received from the server could not be parsed. Common causes for this error are when the response is modified by calls to Response.Write(), response filters, HttpModules, or server trace is enabled.
Details: Error parsing near '
This works in a standalone web form, but not in a content page with a master page.
Can anyone explain a fix for this?
Thanks in advance for any help!!

Is there a specifc reason why you have the Timer control in the UpdatePanel?
Every time I have needed to use a Timer control to cause an UpdatePanel refresh, I have set it up like the following and it works fine with MasterPages:
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<Triggers>
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="Timer1" EventName="Tick" />
</Triggers>
<ContentTemplate>
<!-- your content here, no timer -->
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
<asp:Timer ID="Timer1" runat="server" Interval="5000" OnTick="Timer1_Tick">
</asp:Timer>
Use the Trigger to cause the UpdatePanel to refresh from the Tick event. You only want to embed content in your UpdatePanel if possible.

How to prevent content page from being updated when the master page is updated?

I've an UpdatePanel in the master page and another one in the content page. When I use Timer to refresh the master page, the content page, which has its own Timer, is updated, too.
Question 1: How can I prevent the refresh in the master page from updating the content page?
Question 2: The Timer interval in the content page, is set at 60000. When the page is loaded, I've to wait 60000 to see the GridView data displayed. How to make it display data as soon aas the page is loaded and then refresh the data every 60000?
Site.Master:
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManagerMouseRegion" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
<asp:Timer runat="server" id="SiteMasterTimer" Interval="10000" OnTick="SiteMasterTimer_Tick"></asp:Timer>
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanelMouseRegion" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
// mouse region to be updated
Default.aspx:
<asp:ScriptManagerProxy ID="DisplayResultsScriptManager" runat="server">
</asp:ScriptManagerProxy>
<asp:Timer ID="DisplayResultsTimer" Interval="60000" Enabled="true" runat="server" OnTick="DisplayResultsTimer_Tick">
</asp:Timer>
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="DisplayResultsUpdatePanel" runat="server" >
<Triggers>
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="DisplayResultsTimer" />
</Triggers>
<ContentTemplate>
// GridView to be updated
For the updatePanels, set UpdateMode to Conditional
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanelMouseRegion" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">

Working with multiple update panels and timer dedicated to specific updatepanel

I have the code on master page as follows:
<asp:Timer ID="Timer1" runat="server" Interval="10000" ontick="Timer1_Tick"></asp:Timer>
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="updateNotifications" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<Triggers>
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="Timer1" EventName="Tick" />
</Triggers>
<ContentTemplate>
//Content
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
This is working fine and refreshes the content with defined interval, but it also updates all the update panels on the content pages. I have to refresh only the content inside this update panel. I have tried UpdateMode="Conditional" and UpdateMode="Always" too but to no help.

asp.net timer to load page content

asp.net
c#
Our webpage currently contains a rather large web app which causes a lengthy delay when attemping to navigate to it. I'm currently implementing a WCF web service to utilize ajax but the delay is a concern to my employer so he wanted a quick and dirty fix in the mean time.
I would like to have the empty page load and then use a timer to load the content. This will cut down on perceived page load time but i'm unsure how to accomplish it.
Any help would be much appreciated

Some code to get you started:
In the asp.net page:
<asp:Timer ID="Timer1" OnTick="Timer1_Tick" runat="server" Interval="1">
</asp:Timer>
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="updatePanel1" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<Triggers>
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="Timer1" EventName="Tick" />
</Triggers>
<ContentTemplate>
.... your stuff here
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
<asp:UpdateProgress ID="UpdateProgress1" runat="server" DisplayAfter="100">
<ProgressTemplate>
Please wait...
</ProgressTemplate>
</asp:UpdateProgress>
In the code behind:
protected void Timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.Timer1.Enabled = false;
StartLongRunningTask();
}
Instead of a timer, you could flush the Response with Response.Flush().

FileUpload Doesn't Work When Nested In UpdatePanel? C#

<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:FileUpload onchange="clickTheButton();" ID="FileUpload1" runat="server" />
</ContentTemplate>
<Triggers>
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="Button1" />
</Triggers>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
Button 1 is outside the update panel and the javascript that gets run when a user adds a file in the upload box is this:
function clickTheButton() {
document.getElementById('<%= Button1.ClientID %>').click();
}
The problem is simple. FileUpload1.HasFile == false. I don't know why this is, but when I put it in the update panel it ceases to work.
I have seen some other threads on this. But none of them answer why this is happening, they just point to things you can download.
EDIT: Really my main reason for wanting to do this is so that I can get a ..Uploading File.. Tag to pop up while the client is uploading to the server and once it has completed, display it in a datalist. I just cant get the UpdateProgress to work.
Basically you just need to make your button do a full postback to send the file. Also make sure that you have this.Form.Enctype = "multipart/form-data"; set in your code, or you can put in that page. AsyncPostbacks don't work with files for security reasons as mentioned, without hacks. (I've never been able to get it to work).
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:FileUpload onchange="clickTheButton();" ID="FileUpload1" runat="server" />
</ContentTemplate>
<Triggers>
<asp:PostBackTrigger ControlID="Button1" />
</Triggers>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
For security purposes, browsers don't let you post files via javascript. Imagine if I could write a little bit a javascript to asynchronously submit the contents of your My Documents folder to my server.
So javascript-ish methods of posting the form, like the XMLHttpRequest used by the UpdatePanel, won't work.
This post describes a decent work around if you're on 3.5 SP1. http://geekswithblogs.net/ranganh/archive/2009/10/01/fileupload-in-updatepanel-asp.net-like-gmail.aspx
And this post describes a couple work arounds if you'd prefer not to use the AjaxControlToolkit. http://geekswithblogs.net/ranganh/archive/2008/04/01/file-upload-in-updatepanel-asp.net-ajax.aspx
File Upload will not work with a partial post back.
So just add this line at your page load
ScriptManager.GetCurrent(this).RegisterPostBackControl(this.YourControlID);
Or use PostBackTrigger.
<Triggers>
<asp:PostBackTrigger ControlID="YourControlID" />
</Triggers>
Or You need special AsyncFileUpload control as defined in AjaxControl Toolkit.
<ajaxToolkit:AsyncFileUpload OnClientUploadError="uploadError"
OnClientUploadComplete="uploadComplete" runat="server"
ID="AsyncFileUpload1" Width="400px" UploaderStyle="Modern"
UploadingBackColor="#CCFFFF" ThrobberID="myThrobber" />
