Hi,
I'm developing an online fun game called tambola...
The requirement is as follows
Each logged user will have a ticket generated for him..
The system should display the numbers from 1 to 99 after every 10 secs....

Presently, I've used a timer control to display the numbers after every 10
secs...
The problem with the timer control is that, it's causing a postback after
every 10 secs,,, which is a hit on the server..
I want to avoid this hit on the server.. Is there any other to achieve this
functionality in .net without much load on the server

You have not described the requirement as to why this "timer" submits the
form every ten seconds, and since you wrote it, I cannot guess why it does
this, nor therefore how it might accomplish the same requirement without
posting back to the server.

Hi,
Actually, Tambola is a game in which each player will get a ticket and the
co-ordinator of the game will pick up numbers from 1 to 99 randomly..
If the picked up number happnes to be amongst the numbers being given on the
tciket, then the player marks that numbers in his tciket as completed. The
game ends when any one of the players will have his tciket completely
marked....

We are trying to simulate this game...

The players are the users of the application and system is the co-ordinator
is of the game...The system should pick up each number randomly after every
10 secs........

To do so, we have used a timer which is hitting the performance of the
application..
So, we are trying for another alternative
