Sounds like this will do for my situation. I understand it's not a true
measure of progress, but in my situation I'm most interested in letting the
user know that the upload is not hung and to please continue waiting. I'd
hate for them to restart their session or repeatedly click the "upload now"
button.
I'm using the HtmlInputFile control, and I'm a bit sketchy on *how* it works
(although I do have it all working). I suppose it works with the browser to
enable navigation of the client machine to find the file to be uploaded, but
beyond that I'm not sure what happens in order to copy the file from the
client to the server. I have a separate button that initiates a postback:
does the uploaded file come in as part of the POST (postback) data? If not,
how doess it come in? Where and when would I initiate the timer? and where
would I set the flag? I could figure it all out except that I'm just not
clear on when/where in the code I'd get a chance to start the timer and set
the flag prior to the upload actually beginning.
Thanks.

One solution is to use a timer. Set a flag to show that the load has
started. Everytime the timer event fires examine the flag. As long as the
flag is set, display your message. When it's done, change the flag and
stop the timer.

some indication of percent complete. How can this be done?
Thanks!
