Solution while process is running

I am looking for a solution to use in an aspx web application that will
redirect the user to a new page and display an animated gif indicating that
processing is occurring, and when complete, redirect back to the previous
page picking up where things left off. I've seen similar functionality done
on the web before and would like to follow suit.

A less robust solution, if the desired approach is not feasable, would be a
popup window that has focus, then disappears when the main page has completed
processing.

In the world of the web, end users always do funny things. Using this
approach will help eliminate many of them......

Suggestions, please.

Thanks

Just one approach/example:

Note he mentions alot of other options in that article (besides the one he
shows there)...just Google around you'll find many implementations ...

Decent solution, however, the problem that I am faced with is more than one
long running task on the same aspx page. For example, when a button is
pressed a datagrid is loaded which can take 5-10 secs and then when an item
is selected in the datagrid and update occurs on submit which can take
another 5-10 secs. During both of these updates, I would like to display a
processing message to the users.

The difficulty with the above is displaying a message during the execution
lifecycle of the page, in this case twice during two long running processes,
without disrupting the page state and processing events.

Thanks for the assistance!

I posted this a short while ago , but I don't think I explained the problem clearly. Task Manager lists processes running on a local system, including a "user name" associated with each process (e.g. SYSTEM). My application needs to check if a particular process is running, and if so get the associated "owner". I am really trying to determine the security context in which the process was started.

Hi All, If the name of a process is known, is it possible to check whether it is in execution?
