Solution 2

Use setTimeout to call your server. Make sure you place the handler very small so that it does not overload the server.

Call the server using AJAX.

Solution 1

For this to be implemented in ASP.NET, you need to have a timer control that will be executed every 5 min or so. On execution, based on the result, using Javascript, you need to update the counter.
