Hide page when loading data

[Norkis]

Hey,

I got problem described below.

I have buttons, links in my page. Problem is that users press these buttons and before aplication finishes their work, they press button second or third time, which courses errors.

How to make page data disapear (while page is postbacking) when button is clicked (for some pages)

Thanks in advance

Why not just disable the button :

myButton.enabled = false

Or do the processing on a seperate page ?

the problem with just disabling the button is that until the page is reloaded after postback the button is still on screen for the user to click over and over again calling the OnClick code everytime. You can either disable the button using Javascript or try something like:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        'Test to see if button still processing
        If Session("clicked") = False Then
            Session("clicked") = True
            'Perform Processing here
            Session("clicked") = False
        End If
    End Sub

which might work.

EDIT: If you don't mind using 3rd party controls this one by Andy Smith works very well and is available for free.
