display progress

[bezeredi]

Does anyone know how to display the progress of a component. My component is creating a count of names from a sql server database. I would like to give the user some feed back on how much time is left.

A progress bar control is usually what you want. If you know the starting point and have an estimate of the end point (like 1 to 34000), this is the best choice.

Here is a simple one, or you can use the VB progress bar
VB help has an example of using the VB progress bar.

Actually, I was going to put the progress bar on a web page. What I was thinking was to mimic the progress from the progress bar that is in internet explorer. What happens is I call a component in asp and the page doesn't completely load until the component is done its work. I just want to copy the progress bar onto the page. Make sense?
