Long running process and wait message:

Hi
I have a Business Component (.NET DLL) that takes about 45 to 60
seconds to calculate some data based on some input parameters. I am
calling this component from ASP.NET. While the component is working on
getting the data, I want to show some sort of wait message to user.

What is the best way to implement is ASP.NET.

Thanks
probashi

Have a look at the "Entertain Users During Lengthy Operations" in the "Build
Your ASP.NET Pages on a Richer Bedrock" article by Dino Esposito

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...rockASPNET.asp

Hope this helps.
Chris.

Hello,

I have a similar question. My customer would like an animated gif
displayed when saving, even though saving takes less than a second.
What would be the best way to accomplish this without redirecting to
another page?

Thanks,
Michelle

I would say use javascript to pop us a dialog window. See the below references
