Hi Bapo,

I created a small timer using two different timers in different update panels and was only able to get the Tick event for one of them... I suspect the "postback" in one of the update panels causes the second timer to reset.  I have tested this by setting one to 1 second intervals and the other to 2 second... then to reverse them.  Only the first triggered tick would trigger the events.

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            Label1.Text = "0";
            Label2.Text = "0";
        }

    }
    protected void Timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        int Time1 = Convert.ToInt16(Label1.Text);
        Time1 += 1;
        Label1.Text = Time1.ToString();
        ((Timer)sender).Enabled = true;

    }
    protected void Timer2_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        int Time2 = Convert.ToInt16(Label2.Text);
        Time2 += 1; 
        Label2.Text = Time2.ToString();
        ((Timer)sender).Enabled = true;
    }

        <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
            <ContentTemplate>
                <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Style="position: relative"></asp:Label>
                <asp:Timer ID="Timer1" runat="server" Interval="1000" OnTick="Timer1_Tick">
                </asp:Timer>
            </ContentTemplate>
        </asp:UpdatePanel>
        <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel2" runat="server">
            <ContentTemplate>
                <asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Style="position: relative"></asp:Label>
                <asp:Timer ID="Timer2" runat="server" Interval="2000" OnTick="Timer2_Tick">
                </asp:Timer>
            </ContentTemplate>
        </asp:UpdatePanel>

Thanks for your time.

I've got realTime forex data and the stats used to enter trades needs to be examined on multiple time frames and so collated on min 5min, hour, day ... I can do it with one timer using conditional statements and scaling up from the minute stats but its wasting costly cycles exactly where this thing needs to perform. A one hour triggered timer & a one day triggered timer ..... seemed a sensible way to go. Unless I'm missing something having two active timers in two seperate update panels (or better the same update panel) would be of benefit?

Anyhow thanks for the response
