Refresh page display?

[RichGK]

In the following code loadSummaryData() is quite a slow SQL query and
it prevents the page from displaying until the query has finished. I
want the user to be able to log on and see the page (i.e in this
example the "is logged on" message) before loadSummaryData() executes.
Is there a way to do this?

if (!IsPostBack)
{
lblMessages.Text = loEmployee.employeeFName + " is logged on.";
loadSummaryData();
}
else
{
}

You would need to use some sort of "AJAX" remote scripting method to populate
your display message because the LoadSummaryData method is a blocking call.
