newbie: a simple questions

[M.V.]

I'm trying to implement a progress indicator using atlas. Note that this
indicator does not have to reflect the real progress but just to let the
user know that the something is being done so that the user does not close
the page as he/she might think that the web application stopped responding.

I realize that the file upload control does not work with the update panel
but is there any other way to show the progress indicator (just an animated
gif)? I guess that it might be possible to use for example Modal Popup.

Any suggestions what would be the best way to achieve this. Please note that
3rd party controls are not an option.

Thanks,
MV

Although I'm afraid I can't answer your question, fairly new to ASP.Net
as I am, I do know that lately I've seen the SQL Server Report Services
progress control being used all over the place. I don't know if there
are any SQL Server assemblies that might be available in Visual Studio
that would offer it or not, but it might be worth checking into.
