Best approach for implementing a "Processing " graphic/message?

For ASP.NET 2.0 (or 1.1) what is the best approach to implementing a
processing message or graphic while my task is working away?

Thanks, Rob.

Rob,
There are probably a couple of dozen ways to do this. Here is an article I
put together with one approach that I like:

This is the simplest solution I've seen:

Peter & Steve, thank you for the links.

I'm using ASP NET 2.0 now, is this approach still the best method? Also,
not sure how my page that is doing the long running task can notify the
progress page that it is done -- the progress pages seems to be hard coded
to a set time -- did I miss something?

Thanks, Rob.

True, that technique uses a fake progress bar that doesn't give a real
progress but keeps the user entertained while waiting.
For real progress you'll probably want to use ASP.NET 2.0 callbacks (AJAX).
Or you could use this control which does that (very well) for you:

Hi, I have to process a very "wide" CSV file. Basically, the file does not appear correctly in Notepad, WordPad etc because each line is 414 characters wide.

I would like to pop up a small window that tells the user to "please wait" while the server completes a long task (eg. completes an order) and then once the server is done, close the pop-up and redirect to a results page. I understand that it's a combination of server-side redirects and java, but I can't quite understand the order of events needed. Any help on how do to this would be appreciated!

Hi, I have a webform that takes input from user and on postback it'd do a few things before redirecting the user to another page. Now the problem is those "few things" are very resource intensive and takes a while to get done. So, I'd like to show the user a page or a message like "Processing request; please wait". How can this be done?
