Let me re-phrase my prior inquiry... If Using .net with SQL db and web services to communicate with FLEX front end components Charting and Datagrid... my questions is this...
What is best way to get the components to 'auto-update'... with no page refresh... the pages are in a .Net framework. Right now the Webservices .send() the request to .Net WebService which updates an ArrayCollection to the Components. I would like the components to auto-refresh() every 15 minutes with no page refresh.. So specifically... 1. It's easy enough to setup a Timer for the Static components (static meaning those which do not require user intervention or a 'click' to specify the correct data to display). Would that be the best way to do it ? 2. Also, I have a static page of DataGrid's that are updated via Webservices on the creation Complete() event using ArrayCollections... if I were using some other type of Data Commm like say AMF or other HTTP type service would it be easier to setup a Polling capability or is the same just to set up TIMER to Send() the Web Services Request? 3. Because I need a user to click a Datagrid to select the correct SelectedItem to display from a DataGrid in a Chart Component... how would I use a Timer() event to update this request?? Ohhh, I think I know... The 'selectedItem' is a Public Variable so the Update Event would always know which item to request... Otherwise, what other architecture issues should I be aware or? Any? or is there a better way?
