I have an AJAX.NET enabled page that allows a user to do some searching of a db and some other functionality. One of the functions is long running and takes about 2 minutes sometimes. I keep getting Web timeout messages to the browser. I would like this process to run its course and just let the user do what they want while its running.
Do I have to turn it into a web service so that it can run asynch?
