ASP.NET displaying multiple serverside events to browser

[Andrew Stokes]

Hi

I have a usercontrol which contains ajax toolkit controls which I am using
in a SharePoint siite. When the user clicks one of the buttons on the page
it fires a series of events server side (creates a new project in project
server, creates an new SharePoint site ... ) each of which take quite some
time. I would like to display the successful completion of each event in the
control to so the user can see what progress has been made.

I am struggling to understand how I can engineer the page to perform each
task in turn, post the page back after each task has occurred (to update the
UI that the task has been done) then fire the next server side event. It's
easy to update a control with the status changes but the updated control is
only displayed to the user when all of the server side events have completed.

Can anyone help me with this?


Regards

Andrew

There was no way for you to know it (except maybe by browsing through some
of the previous questions in this newsgroup before posting yours - always a
recommended practice) , but this is a classic (COM-based) asp newsgroup.
ASP.Net bears very little resemblance to classic ASP so, while you may be
lucky enough to find a dotnet-knowledgeable person here who can answer your
question, you can eliminate the luck factor by posting your question to a
group where those dotnet-knowledgeable people hang out. I suggest
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet or the forums at www.asp.net.

I was struggling to find an ASP.NET newsgroup and as I saw a couple of posts
mentioning .NET so I thought this must an ASP/ASP.NET newsgroup . I was
wondering why .NET was a little thin on the ground.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
