# Ajax Toolkit Timer Control in ASP.Net

Timer [controls](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/66/how-to-create-controls-at-run-time-in-csharp-dot-net) allow you to do postbacks at certain intervals. The main [properties](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/81845/now-it-s-possible-to-predict-properties-of-any-molecule) of [timer control](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/321/timer-control-in-vb-dot-net) is **Interval** and [default](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/12771/what-is-the-importance-of-default-resources) [event](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/167719/marquee-hire-benefits-of-event-lighting-hire-london) of timer is Tick ()\

## Syntax:

## \

```
<asp:Timer ID="Timer1" runat="server"></asp:Timer>
```

## Code:

**Write these codes on [aspx page](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/218/how-do-i-create-an-aspx-page-that-periodically-refreshes-itself)**

```
 <%-- ScriptManager control manages client script for AJAX enabled ASP.NET pages--%><asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" /><asp:Timer ID="UpdateTimer" runat="server" Interval="3000" OnTick="UpdateTimer_Tick" /> <%--OnTick Method Raises the Tick event.--%><asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" />
