Updating label text

[kaczmar2]

I have an ASP.NET page written in VB.NET that has a label:

<asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblStatus"
CssClass="Label Txt"></asp:Label>

In my code behind, I am running some stored procedures and a DTS
package. Since the queries and the DTS package take a few seconds to
run, I want to update the status label after each step has completed:

lblStatus.Text = "Processing ..."
' Process stored proc
lblStatus.Text &= "Done!<br>"
' Process DTS package
lblStatus.Text &= "Processing DTS Package...<br>"
' etc.

I know that I can do this if I do not use code behind by just using
Response.Write and Response.Flush( ) statements, as I would in classic
ASP.

However, is there a way on the server side to raise an event and update
the label accordingly? Any pointers would be appreciated.

its done the same way in .net. turn off buffering, and do response write,
response flush.

Right, but the point is I would rather utilize the TExt property of the
label, so that way, I will have more control over the output on the
page. Hence my question, is there a way to raise an event on the
server side and then update the label text periodically? I would
rather NOT use response.write and response.flush.
