title: Using ASP.NET UpdatePanel with SqlDataSource
body: <p>I'm currently involved in adapting an existing website. In the website we have a page that uses a formview and some SqlDataSources to get data from the database.</p>
  
  <p>On this website I need to have a link that will start an action (this is no problem) on the server. When the particular action has been completed the database will be updated.</p>
  
  <p>Now if the user is still on that page I want it to have it updated. But the only thing that needs to be updated is the status and it's message next to the link. This what I think of doing:</p>
  
  <p>Using an updatepanel and having a "constant" (with timed intervals) check on the database to see wether or not the database has been updated. If it has, the part with the status will be refreshed. The problem I think of is, <strong>how can I force the SqlDataSource to get the new data from the database</strong> when the check returns a 'go'?</p>
  
  <p>If possible it would be nice to only have a certain part of the SqlDataSource refresh.
  If you need anymore information, just ask.</p>
  
  <p>Any comment will be appreciated.
  Kind regards,
  Floris</p>
