Providing Some Live Data on a Website - New for ASP.NET Best Practices
I have a large .NET system running inside a corporate intranet that allows winforms users to see some live calculated numbers and a custom winforms control in real time (but not real time). Form users can also influence how the system works.
I would like to just show live numbers on the website along with custom controls. Nothing should be returned from the web user as the web application is for monitoring purposes only. All numbers can be calculated on the server.
It has been a long time since I touched ASP.NET and I need to know how to proceed. What are the steps to create and deploy such a website? Any caveats I need to look for?

I'm not entirely sure in your description that you are here.
I am assuming that you are looking for a web page that will display the calculated numbers and update them on refresh without having to refresh the page.
and in this case it is not an ASP.NET issue. You will need to write JavaScript (I recommend jQuery) to periodically poll the server and write any changed values to the page.
Is this what you mean?
