showing changing time in a label

[barry]

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim curtime As Date
Do Until Date.Now >= some future date time
curtime = Date.Now
Label1.Text = curtime.ToString("hh:mm:ss:ff")
Loop
End Sub

Not sure how to get label1 to continuously show the change in time in a
webform. If this were windows you can use label1.refresh to give a stopwatch
running effect. Is there an equivalent syntax for asp.net or is javascript
needed?

thanks

Use javascript, otherwise to change te label you'd have to post back to the
server, which is probabaly not what you want. So, use something like window.setInterval():
