Hello I am creating an ASP.NET/C# application I have an update panel that takes time to update. Is there a way to display a "Loading... Please Wait" Message during the time of the calculations?
Currently I am using AJAX panel animation fade in/fade out, to make the panel disappear while calculating and then reappear when done. But that is not very practical.
I need to display a message if possible.
Thank you for any help.
this is the code of my panel:
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
<Triggers>
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="Button1" EventName="Click"/>
</Triggers>
<ContentTemplate>
//Contents goes here
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
And the Ajax Panel animation extender
<ajaxToolkit:UpdatePanelAnimationExtender ID="UpdatePanelAnimationExtender1" runat="server" TargetControlID="UpdatePanel1">
<Animations>
<OnUpdating>
<FadeOut Duration="1" Fps="20" />
</OnUpdating>
<OnUpdated>
<FadeIn Duration="2" Fps="20" />
</OnUpdated>
</Animations>
</ajaxToolkit:UpdatePanelAnimationExtender>
You can use code as below when
using Image as Loading
<asp:UpdateProgress id="updateProgress" runat="server">
<ProgressTemplate>
<div style="position: fixed; text-align: center; height: 100%; width: 100%; top: 0; right: 0; left: 0; z-index: 9999999; background-color: #000000; opacity: 0.7;">
<asp:Image ID="imgUpdateProgress" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/images/ajax-loader.gif" AlternateText="Loading ..." ToolTip="Loading ..." style="padding: 10px;position:fixed;top:45%;left:50%;" />
</div>
</ProgressTemplate>
</asp:UpdateProgress>
using Text as Loading
<asp:UpdateProgress id="updateProgress" runat="server">
<ProgressTemplate>
<div style="position: fixed; text-align: center; height: 100%; width: 100%; top: 0; right: 0; left: 0; z-index: 9999999; background-color: #000000; opacity: 0.7;">
<span style="border-width: 0px; position: fixed; padding: 50px; background-color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 36px; left: 40%; top: 40%;">Loading ...</span>
</div>
</ProgressTemplate>
</asp:UpdateProgress>
