Threading Issues

[Mick Walker]

I have a question about using threads within my web application.
I have a very long process, and currentlly run it within a new thread.
Before I create the thread and .Start() I set the value of Image control
to visible = True, this image control simply contains an animated .gif
with "Please Wait".

However, this image isnt shown until after the thread finishes.
Does anyone know why this is, and what steps I can take to work around it?

Kind Regards

Hello Mick,

You system is blocked, because it await the responce from your tread.
For the long processes the async calls make sence. see there sample http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/AsyncProcessingMessage.asp
