Timer UI update

Hi All,

I have a asp web application, where we are showing current time in label using timer with interval 100ms. and inside the timer we are doing a TCP socket data read.

The problem is the current time shown is not updating properly. Its like , updating only for two seconds.

ex:

if current time is 10:00:00 the value shown is 10:00:00

if current time is 10:00:01 the value shown is 10:00:00

if current time is 10:00:02 the value shown is 10:00:02

1. Is there a way we can update the UI smoothly?

2. Handle the tcp data read separately.? (We need to do the TCP read every 100ms continuously.)

Kindly guide me

Regards,
Bala
