How Do I: Use the ASP.NET AJAX UpdateProgress Control?

In an AJAX application there is often a noticeable pause between the time the browser makes a network request and the time the browser receives a response. To let the user know that the network conversation is taking place, the ASP.NET AJAX UpdateProgress control provides immediate feedback by displaying an animated image, ‘loading’ text, or other HTML that disappears once the network response is received.

Thank You for your great article. But I have a doubt. In your example to display progress image, You have used sleep method. But I don't want use sleep method. In some situtaion we don't exact time. at this time how to implement updateprogress.

jmhemadri,

You don't need to know the exact time. He uses sleep in this example to 'simulate' server load time. In a real case scenario you do not need to do anything. Just enter your code as your normally would. Any 'loading' time the user experiences will trigger the update progress control and display whatever image or text you have placed inside the control automatically. Once the loading has finished the progress control will automatically stop showing the text or image.

Hope that makes sense lol.
