Hi

I am trying to create an online shopping kind of asp.net web application.I need to show notifications in the front end when ever a new product comes in, or a product stock is going to be over or in similar situations.I am currently using an update panel and checking the server every few minutes, but this will not be live data also if there is no data i dont need to go to server (like in facebook whenever someone comments on you, you get a notification in front end). Basically the notification should come from the server to the logged in users browsers. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks
