Please Help Hi Tracy Thanks for the link. Now in the link i couldn't find the specific example using timer for constant calling for HTTP service. Can you please tell me where exactly the example is located. Your help will be appreciated.

Please Help Hi Guys Thanks for your different approaches to solve this problem.I will try all of them and see which one will suit my management, but i really appreciate that. I have one solution which recently struck me , please let me know if this is the right one. Can I use the Timer class to create a timer instance which will periodically call HTTP and check which entries are in database and update the dataProvider with the recent entries. Do you guys think this is going to work. i am going to explore all the solutions recommended by you guys and see which is most convenient and efficient to implement with my deadline. Please let me know if Timer thing is going to work for database.
