I have an Iframe that contains [asp.net](http://asp.net) as its source and it gets updated with new data periodically. Looks like it gets a different session id for every update and says “[ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) session has expired or could not be found” when it get a new data. Is there a way to periodically refresh the Iframe or source (the view) ? ---

You could use a Gateway Timer Script to send a message to all sessions, which would then send out their own message to update the iframe with the source you’d like to update. ---

I generally use AJAX calls from the browser in a timer loop to the server . Don’t know about Iframe
