asp.net multithreading?

[Ariel Gimenez]

Hi, in my web application im calling another component that performs tasks
that takes too much time, im wandering what is the correct form to handle
this...
i mean i think i should call the process in another thread and forget about
it to allow the user continue using the page

TIA

You may be able to use multithreading for such a scenario.
Here's more details:

However if your process takes a REALLY long time (or you want the process to
be able to run without being invoked by a web page) you might want to use a
windows service to handle the chores.
Here's more information on Windows Services:
