ASP.NET - Refresh Part of a Page

We often come across a scenario where we need to update part of a page. We can use IFrame to refresh part of a page. 
We can achieve this using Ajax also but here I am discussing how we can achieve without using Ajax.

Step 1. Add a page in the project with name “MyPage.aspx”, copy and paste below code in the aspx page

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="MyPage.aspx.cs" Inherits="MyPage"%><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><htmlxmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head runat="server">    <title>Refresh part of page</title>    <metahttp-equiv="Refresh" content="5" />  </head><body>    <form id="form1" runat="server">    <div>       <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>    </div>    </form></body></html>
The below line of code in the head section of the above code will refresh the page after every 5 second.
<
meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5" />
Step 2: Put below bold and italic lines of code in the Page_Load method of MyPage.aspx page, this line will refresh the time on each refresh of the page.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)    {        Label1.Text = "This Page has been refrested at " + DateTime.Now.ToString();    }
Step 3. Now add another page in the project with name “Refresh.aspx”, copy and paste below code in aspx page of Refresh.aspx.
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Refresh.aspx.cs" Inherits="Refresh"%><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><htmlxmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head runat="server">    <title>Untitled Page</title></head><body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">    <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="" />    <div>           <iframe id = "myFrame" src = "MyPage.aspx" frameborder = "0" style="width500px;height:100px">            </iframe>     </div>    </form></body></html>
I have added an IFrame to achieve the goal of part refresh of the page. I have added src property and set it to MyPage.aspx which I have created in step 1.
I have also put a label outside the iframe to show the Date and time when Refresh.aspx page will load.

Step 4: Copy and paste below bold line of code on Page_Load method
protected void Page_Load(object sender,EventArgs e)
    {        Label1.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString();    }
Now run Refresh.aspx page, you will notice that the time on the Refresh.aspx won’t change but the time on MyPage.aspx will change after every 5 seconds

GRIDVIEW GROUPING

When displaying data, we sometimes would like to group data for better user experience or when displaying long list of hierarchal data, we would want to display them in a tree view kind of structure.
