Alerts to be displayed in web application for every 2 minutes

It is easily possible if your application is opened. You can use normal javascript method in body onload event
setInterval("youralert();", 1000*60*2)

Write all your code in function youralert() and every 2 minutes the method will get invoked.


On the other hand it is quite impossible to access local system from the browser control because of security reason, thus if your requirement to add a Scheduler kind of thing, you need to have an installer to install your tool to the client and then he can add a task.
Just if you have a client application installed, add an entry to Windows Scheduler to run your popup executable after an interval.

Other than that, in web application we generally do send emails after as alert when user subscribes. This might be one option for you as well..

function warnuser()
{
if (confirm("There has been no activity for some time.\nClick 'OK' if you " +
"wish to continue your session,\nor click 'Cancel' to log out.\nFor your " +
"security if you are unable to respond to this message\nwithin 2 minutes you " +
"will be logged out automatically."))
{
//post the page to itself
document.location.href = "Main.aspx"
}
else
{
document.location.href = "Index.aspx"
}
}

Style 2 is simpler and simply posts a warning:

function SessionAlert()
{
alert("Your Session will time out in 19 minutes");
}
setTimeOut("SessionAlert", 1 * 60 * 1000);

I tried setting the second one for just a minute just to see if it would work. It doesn't. Following is the setting that is deployed on the web.config page in the ASP.net applcation (and it does time out in 20 minutes):

<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="20" />

Hey Sagarp,

Did you actually read the Query ?

I think the user wanted to subscribe for an alert and it will alert after every 2 min.

there is nothing to deal with ASP.NET session I think.

Hey,

Just want to point out this article if you are deciding between using setInterval() or setTimeout()

http://weblogs.asp.net/bleroy/archive/2009/05/14/setinterval-is-moderately-evil.aspx

Might save you some headache further down the line :)

Write a function in Javascript as follows

function checkTimeOut(millisec)

		{

		    window.clearInterval(Showid);

		    Showid = window.setInterval("Refresh()", millisec);

		    return true;

		}

Convert the time that you require to millisecond and pass that to this function (in millisec argument)

Mark this as answer, if it is.....
