I've written Server-Side code that imports a large amount of data into the DNN Tables.  However, when the user clicks the "Next" button on my Wizard control which kicks off the import process, visually it just hangs until the process is completed. To the end user, it looks like the site froze.

How can I blank the popup window & display that spinning circle animation like I see done on several other areas?

Thank for any help!

go into your module control (host->extensions) and check "enable partial rendering" and it will wrap your module in an updatepanel. When a server-side request happens rather than a postback an ajax request will happen and the spinning wheel will appear.

Cathal,

Thank you for your response.  Problem is that the Popup Window where I have my ControlPage uses an ASP Wizard and allows a user to upload a file. If I allow "Partial Rendering", then the PostBack event doesn't fire and I can't click NEXT on my Wizard, and the uploading ability doesn't work.

Any other ideas on how I can show some sort of wait message/graphic to my user while my import is working?

thats your problem - you need to upload the file and then show the message - there are a few typical approaches - find an async file upload tool or do the upload and import on seperate wizard functions so you can inject a message

Ok, if you don't mind...let me describe what I have and maybe you can point me in the proper direction? 

I have an ASP: Wizard object defined with the following steps:
   WizardStep0: File Upload Request
   WizardStep1: Error Message Display (If Bad File Uploaded)
   WizardStep2: Request SQL Admin Credentials (Needed For Import Routine)
   WizardStep3: Display Results Of Import

My Issue is between Step 2 & 3. When on Step 2 and the user clicks NEXT, the page just hangs there (appearing frozen to the user) while the ServerSide code imports the data. It's at this point that I would like to show some sort of message or animation to alleviate the users anxiety of staring at a "frozen" screen. We have VERY impatient end-users that will most likely close out of any forms that don't respond in a few seconds.

Any suggestions?
