update the textbox text property through loop

I want to update the text property of my textbox control in Asp.Net from within loop.I have tried using Ajax updatepanel with the timer control but unable to update the text property.I have been searching this since last week but unable to find any answer any help would be higly appreciated

Following is the detail:

This is my button click event in this code you can see I am updating the

TxtContent.Text

within a loop the text is being returned by a user defined function called

ReturnBodyText()

afterwards I am assigning the text to the viewstate so that at the timer tick event I can recall the text and update the textbox text property and then at the timer tick event assigning the viewstate values to the textbox.

protected void Button4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ArrayList FilePath = (ArrayList)ViewState["ArrayList"];
    int i = 0;
    int b = 1;
    foreach(string[] sr in FilePath)
    {
        string Month = sr[i];
        string datewithzero;
        datewithzero = String.Format("{0:00}", b);
        string[] FilesArray = (string[])listfiles(Month, datewithzero).ToArray(typeof(string));

        foreach (string FileNameWithExtension in FilesArray)
        {
            ListBox4.Items.Add(FileNameWithExtension);
            TxtContent.Text = ReturnBodyText(Month, datewithzero, FileNameWithExtension);
            ViewState["Content"] = TxtContent.Text;
            Timer1.Enabled = true;
            Timer1_Tick(ViewState["Content"], e);
        }
        i = i + 1;
        b = b + 1;
    }
}

protected void Timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    TxtContent.Text =(string) ViewState["Content"];
    TxtContent.DataBind();
}

I Hope the above description will help you guys in understanding my problem

Sadly, your code did not help me much. However, I wrote this which I believe does what you want -partially-. It seems to me nothing more can be done though. Here is the code:
