I've fought with this one 'on and off' for ages... Always giving up and finding alternative ways of tolerating it ;)
basically, I have a directorysearcher loading a load of data into a datatable, then dataview (For sorting) and finally into a gridview for presentation to the user.. The problem is that it takes a few minutes for all of those things to happen ;)....
Is there ANY way to dump a progress bar (not true measurement, just activity) on the screen while all of that is going on? heck, I'd setting for a static 'loading please wait' message during page load ;)
Go to the complete details ...
