Hello,

Sure, you can implement this task using the standard approaches on a timer.
XAF's API you need to call to refresh data within a certain View is View.ObjectSpace.Refresh, where View is the view you want to refresh.
There are countless examples you can locate in our database using our search engine: https://search.devexpress.com/?q=refresh&p=T4%7cP2%7c54&d=15
I hope you find this information helpful.

      Hi Dennis
      It seems to me you have quoted this search term a lot of times because I keep going in circles trying to find an example.  Instead I find more links to the same search term.
      It would be great if you had a definitive example in the user documentation and just linked to that.

        Hi Kirsten,

        This task consists of the two main parts:

        1. Triggering actions periodically.
          This part is not specific to XAF, and you can use various standard .NET Framework solutions for this.  For instance, you could use a Timer class. Refer to MSDN for more details.

        2. Calling the XAF API that refreshes data.
          This part is specific to XAF and is a call of a single method I described above.
          In any event, we will consider creating a WinForms example for this (there is already an example for Web: KA18958).
