Q:

Bluring the page and displaying gif image when processing

I am using c# ASP.NET VS 2005 . I have a functionality where i have to click on a upload button and the data has to be uploaded from selected input file to database.
When i click the upload button its taking atleast 40 sec to upload the data from the file.
I want to display some gif image to the user when the data is being uploaded. I want to disable the page (blur the page) as well, so that the user will not click on any other button when the data is beeing uploaded.
Please suggest some idea.
Thanks,.
Regards,
Jebli.

A:

You may want to use asp:UpdatePanel as a container for your data upload controls, so then you can apply UpdateProgress overlay as perfectly described here: http://blogs.visoftinc.com/archive/2008/03/13/Modal-UpdateProgress-for-UpdatePanel-Revisited.aspx 
That would allow you to "grey out" browser window and show an animated GIF, while data is uploaded.
