Hi,

I would want to create a webpage with updatepanels showing 12 charts in each page.
The data is pulled out from an access database which is linked to excel named ranges.
Is this the right method and is it fine to show so many charts with a timer to change the update panels to the next sheet?
Hope that someone could give me a better approach to this.

Thanks
Joe

Whether or not its too many depends on the hardware you're running the site on. Instead of using a timer to auto-refresh, consider letting the user click a button that starts the refresh process. Further, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to have each chart calculation/render process confined to it's own thread, and put the charts themselves into ajax update panels. If you're not concerned about non-windows boxes, you should really consider using Silverlight instead. It's a MUCH richer platform.

its more like an automated dashboard showing the graphs on a screen based on the data in the database. not sure on how to implement this into silverlight though. would you be able to give me some kind of samples for this please.
