UpdatePanel + Scriptmanger and Respone.Redirect to (external time consuming ressource)

Hello,

As the title of my post suggest, i use Response.Redirect(http://..../download.ahsx) on submit of my form;

This works fine. The file is streamed to the users browser and my update panel displays the " loading data gif".

The problem is that when the external page returns, we are not notified of this and we keep displaying the "loading data gif".

Is there a client side event i should process to refresh the starting page?

Thanks

Is Ajax of any help in such of situation at all?

Hi,

I'm afraid AJAX cann't do this.

As you said, when the external page returns, the starting page is not notified keep displaying the "loading data gif".

I suggest you use a timer to hide the "loading data gif" manually.

Best Regards

You are correct.

Thanks

But then what would i be looking for in my timer tick?

My web application still has no idea of what is happening in my remote resource.

Any suggestion?

Sorry,I mean javascript timer,not AJAX timer.

Hi Jin-Yu Yin,

Could you explain how a client side timer would let me know that my http handler has finished running?

Thanks
