One of the ways i can think of right now is... using Javascript for it.
You would need to use setInterval and UpdatePanel/PageMethod/CallBack.

For setInterval that fires after the specified delay, and keeps firing again after the same delay, until it is cancelled.:
http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/tutorials/javascript/timers[^]

you can pick any one of the AJAX methods here. Based on the setInterval function in your page, you can re-bind datalist again and again.
For example if you choose Update Panel: Have a dummy button inside panel along with datalist. Fire the button click in the setInterval javascript function. Update panel get partial refresh

Use a Timer Control[^].
On the Timer_Tick event, write the code to get the fresh data from database and bind it.

Hope this helps!

Solution 2

as Sandeep explains setInterval acts like a Tiner in javascript,
AJAX is the way that you can call Codebehind function using Javascript.

This may help you
