How I can use the UpdateProgress Control to show a wait symbol?

I have an ASP.NET application with a ListView. I get data from Active Directory and now I want a wait symbol for the time if the ListVew is building. I thought I would use a UpdateProgress Control from Ajax Control toolkit. But I don't know how I can use it if I click on a Button and the wait symbol (for example a gif) closes if the ListView is finished. :(

My CS file:

protected void btnBenutzerSuchen_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     //If I click on this Button the gif must start

    try
    {
        ... // my ListView get data

        this.myListView.DataSource = dv; 
        this.myListView.DataBind();

        ...

    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
        ...
    }

   //If the ListView is finish the gif must close 
}

How I can do this? Can I do this with the UpdateProgress like this:

<asp:UpdateProgress ID="UpdateProgress1" DynamicLayout="true" runat="server" AssociatedUpdatePanelID="?" >
    <ProgressTemplate>
    <div class="progress">
        <img src="images/ajax-loader-arrows.gif" />&nbsp;please wait...
    </div>
    </ProgressTemplate>
</asp:UpdateProgress>

My update.aspx file:

First place your listview aspx code inside an update panel

<asp:UpdatePanel ID="up" runat="server">
    <ContentTemplate>
        // Place your list View Code here
        <asp:ListView ..........
         ...... </asp:ListView>
    </ContentTemplate>
    <Triggers>
       // If button is present outside update panel then specify AsynPostBackTrigger
       <asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="btnControlID" EventName="Click" /> 
    </Triggers>
</asp:UpdatePanel>

// Now Set AssociatedUpdatePanelID="up" in the UpdateProgress

<asp:UpdateProgress ID="UpdateProgress1" DynamicLayout="true" runat="server"  AssociatedUpdatePanelID="up" >
<ProgressTemplate>
<div class="progress">
    <img src="images/ajax-loader-arrows.gif" />&nbsp;please wait...
</div>
</ProgressTemplate>
</asp:UpdateProgress>
