DoEvents Equivalent?

[MichaelR]

I have an ASP.NET application (written in VB.NET) that has to use a 3rd
party COM server to accomplish a lengthy processing task. This COM server
works asynchronously and uses a call-back event to report its progress.

If I was programming in good old VB6, I'd use a loop and Do Events to wait
for the call-back event to be triggered. I understand that VB.NET has
Application.DoEvents(), but that isn't available to me since my app is a
dll.

Is there an equivalent in VB.NET/ASP.NET that I can use to accomplish this?

no. google this newsgroup for progress bar solutions. they involve polling
for status.
