Creating a 'Please Wait' page?

[tailz]

Hi All,

When a user clicks a linkbutton on my page, I would like to redirect to a "please wait while doing this action" page ... run my heavy function and then redirect back to a different page.

Hows that done then?

You can solve this problem with frames or threads.
it may be easier with frames:
Create a main frame (all page) that will show the wait message, and a small frame (0,0) where you load another page that does the work. When that page finish, it will redirect to next page.
On next page, you may need to get reed of frames.
Also, you can define the small frame as non resizable.

Can you explain how to do the threads method please? An example will be fine
