displaying progress in page

[alanchinese]

Hi,

 

I have a aspx (with ajax control toolkit) that the code behind calls a method from another assembly. This method will call 100 other methods thus it will take long time.

 

Is there any pattern/best practices on how to display progresses on this long method call? (i.e., at 10:00am, method 1 is started, 10:05am, method 1 is completed, ... etc). Event could be used to let the code behind to catch the progress messages.

 

Thanks for any suggestion,

Alan.

I assume if you use the update panel and the progress panel, you will get your desired result. Hope this is what you are talking about.
