Hello, This is Vikash Gohil.

I have a Web App in which I need to Process some data depending upon the user input.

The processing time depends upon the user selection.

If he has selected more data for processing it takes more time and so the screen remains idle for that much time.

What i want is to show a wait animation to the user while the processing is on in Background.

I was thinking of using Modalpopup extender in the following way.

The ModalPopup will contain GIF Image.
When the ModalPopup is Loaded/Shown the Background process will start.
After the Process has been completed, it will Close the Modalpopup.

Can anyone guide me in this matter. OR Anyone having a better solution than this.

I have searched on web on handling Modalpopup events but no success.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance, awaiting a response soon.

I little search on this very site can provide you articles/controls like this:
Customizable 'Loading' Control for Web Applications with Designer Support[^]

Sound's like this can fit in your case.

There is no such thing as a background process in a web app. You'd have to use a service to do this, and just keep making regular AJAX calls to check if it is finished.
