Refreshing an aspx mobile page in CSharp

I'm trying to either have a user hit a Refresh button to refresh a
mobile aspx (c-sharp behind code) page , or using an automatic refresh
every 3 minutes on the page. <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="180;url=mypage.aspx"> just does not work on any of my aspx
pages.
If I use a refresh button, would I be able to use
Response.Redirect("selfPage") in my CSharp code behind with the Command
Button object?

Thanks

In a very recent project, I needed an ASPX page to automatically
refresh itself to update its content every few minutes. I used Darren
Neimke's Timer control
(http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/UserSamples/Details.aspx?SampleGuid=69a7c7bb-939a-4777-aceb-2d9ebbe35b85),
and it worked like a charm. It triggers a postback event once a
preconfigured interval elapses.

But my application used regular, non-mobile ASPX page, so I'm not
totally sure if it would work for you.

Anyway, hope this helps.

Have you tried Server.Transfer("thispage.aspx") ?
Saves a round trip to the device.
