Hi gang

I have a historical update that is calculating details about students (based on Roll attendance)

Anyway how can I display updates on progress on screen.
I have tried displaying a label but the screen doesnt update until the processing is complete.

I think I may have to use threads.. (never used them in .NET so if this is required can someone point me in the right direction...)

Anyone got any ideas?

cheers

You may consider ActiveX or Windows Control Library (.NET). Others like Java Applet & Macromedia Flash also able to do that. These are the methods I know to avoid "Stateless" from web application
 
Well, for the label thing you're doing have you tried the Label1.Refresh() after changing the Text??? that might work, any way, if you create a control or any other thing you'll need the refresh in the control to show the text.
 
Build your Windows Control Library using VS.NET or ActiveX using VB6 then embed it to your web page. It is quite simple actually if you try.
