I'm looking for a way to call a function every N seconds in order to update data displayed on the page.
Is there a built-in functionality to accomplish this task or do I have to do it by myself?

There are the window.setTimeout and window.setInterval javascript functions. For example:
window.setInterval(function() {
// this will run on every 10 seconds
// Here you can send AJAX requests to your controller actions in order
// to refresh some data
}, 1000 * 10);

Timer class:
using System.Timers;
...
_timer = new Timer(3000); // Set up the timer for 3 seco
_timer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(_timer_Elapsed);
_timer.Enabled = true; // Enable it
static void _timer_Elapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
// do stuff
}
