Message: [QUOTE="lmttag, post: 2757791"] Hello. We're developing an ASP.NET 2.0 (C#) application and we're trying to AJAX-enable it. We're having problem with a page not showing the page while a long-running process is executing. So, we're looking for a way to display the page with a "please wait..." message while the process is running, and then, when the process is done, update the page with the actual results/page content. We have a page that opens another browser/page using JavaScript window.open, and, in the second page's Page_Load, we call the long-running function. In doing this, the browser and page do not completely render anything until the long-running function is complete. So, how can we make the page that calls the long-running process in Page_Load display a page with some sort of please wait... message (and probably an animated gif) while the function runs? Is there something in the new ASP.NET AJAX stuff? Or, is there some other way? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
