Threading?

[Mohammad Samara]

Hello everyone,

I want to display a message in an ASP.NET page label while the application
is busy contacting a web service to retrieve some info. Do I have to use
threading in C# to display the message in order for the rest of the code to
retrieve the info from the web service?

Thanks.

just use a normal Response.Write to diplay the message and make sure you
call Response.Flush();... after that you can continue waiting for the
webservice to return data...

Thanks Hermit, that worked ok, I just can't get rid of the message displayed
by Response.Write() after the service retrieves the info, I have tried
Reponse.Clear() with no luck as well.

Any ideas?

well you could write it to a span and set the span as invisible later on...
lemme just check for a link...
