I have a page that's suppose to only show a "please wait...." message while certain files are downloaded. I'm using webclient, first tried DownloadFile then DownloadFileAsync , whatever i'm doing i can't get the wait message showing up BEFORE the whole download is done.
View 1 RepliesI am using the code below to download multiple attachments from a TFS server:
[code]....
However, there are a couple of problems with this approach:
The Thread.Sleep() is locking up my Form. I still need to make my own Thread or use BackgroundWorker. (I would like to avoid this as much as possible)The DownloadFileCompleted event is being triggered after ALL files has been downloaded. I don't know if this is a side-effect of using
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
Is there a better approach to download files one at a time using WebClient.DownloadFileAsync?
I am downloading a file from a remote location to my local machine. The paths I am using are saved in web.config and are in following format:
<add key="FileFolder" value="Files/"/>
<add key="LocalFileFolder" value="D:REAL" />
the code I am using to download is:
CreateDirectoryIfDoesNotExist();
WebClient webClient = new WebClient(); [code]...
When i deploy it on the server; and run my program, i get a message saying that download has completed successfully. But the problem is that the file is downloaded on the server machine in the filefolder (LocalFileFolder). I want it to be downloaded on the local machine. What is it that I am doing wrong?
I have a "Save" button in my asp.net (VB.Net 3.5) page. When clicked it saves data in the database and redirects to another page. Before it redirects, I have to show a popup messagebox informing the clients that the data has been saved. The popup box will have a "OK" button. Only when this button is clicked, the page should be redirected to another page.
If I used Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript to register a javascript to show an alert message, it is never shown and page is redirected straightaway. Similar behavior happens when I tried to show a mesage box by creating it through a server control as described
at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/webforms/NingLiangSimpleControl.aspx.
How can I use JQuery to be able to show some kind of "Please wait"-dialog when a user clicks a button? I want to be able to show for example an alert saying "Your request is being transmitted" while the request is sent to the server and processed through the controller (I use MVC). Once the response comes back, I want to reload the page with the viewmodel returned from controller action, just as usual. Is this possible to do with JQuery or ASP.NET AJAX?
function Save()
{
alert("Please wait);
//make the request async and reload the page when it returns...
}
I'm mix up between webclient.OpenReadAsync and webclient.DownloadStringAsync? Can anyone explain clearly for me ? What are the difference between them? In addition, may i know whether webclient.OpenReadAsync got download the file or just open and read the file only without download to other places?

I have a 'Generate' button on form that does some file processing. It creates files, zips it etc etc. I would like to add some wait time (3-5 seconds) in the logic so as to complete the file processing logic. What happens right now is visitor clicks the button to generate those files and clicks another button to download. When they try download button many times the files are not created as in processing. So it fails to download. The only way I can ensure it does processing for longer period to allow completion.

I am trying to use a WebClient to get the content of another webform in my project. I am using a WebClient because I want to do this asynchronously, so if there is a better way to do that, I am open to it.My webclient, however, is erroring with the "Illegal characters in path" error. Looking at it in the debugger, I see that this is the URI string I am using:
"PortfolioDetail.aspx?CCSG=True&Open=False&Plcmt=2008-Aug "
I don't see any illegal characters in it... what am I doing wrong?

I'm currently using ASP.net. I wonder what would I need to do to let the browser wait for 3 seconds so my users can read the text "Customer Successfully Added" before turning to another page? I have attached my code as follows.
Protected Sub btnAdd_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAdd.Click
Dim db As New DatabaseClass
db.addProfile(txtLN.Text, txtFN.Text, txtUsername.Text, txtPassword.Text, txtAddress.Text, txtZip.Text, txtPhone.Text, txtEmail.Text)
lblMessage.Text = "Customer Successfully Added"
End Sub
In addition, I'm not sure how to utilize MSDN. For me, its information overload, I'm wondering how to go about finding the solution on MSDN so i would be able to solve my problems in the future.
I have a sql stored procedure that runs for about 3 minutes, I am looking to execute this stored procedure from asp.net, but I know that if I do, that asp.net will most likely time out.
I'm thinking of just creating a job within sql to have it execute that stored procedure, and have asp.net call a stored procedure to call that job. I have a table that is updated when the stored procedure starts, and when it ends.
My application will use this to determine when the script has finished, however, I wanted to know if there is another way to run the stored procedure and not have it wait for it to finish to push a response back.
I just want to know if there is a more efficient way to do this, or if I should just stick to creating jobs for scripts that take forever to run.
In my web application (ASP.NET) I have a block of code that uses HttpWebRequest to make a call to a REST service and continue execution. Right now it's taking longer than I would like to complete the full web request. The thing is that what the REST service returns isn't useful. Ideally I would like to send an Async web request to the REST service and then NOT wait for a response. The problem is that I've tried it out using request.BeginGetResponse(New AsyncCallback(AddressOf myFunc), Nothing)
To start an async request and instead of NOT waiting (which I would assume would be the default behavior of an async request) it continuously executes the callback function before executing the next line of code after BeginGetResponse.I'm suspecting that ASP.NET may convert it to a sync request when it's within a web application. I'm led to believe this because there's a IAsyncResult result object that is passed into the callback function and when I examine its CompletedSynchronously property it's always set to true.if it's possible to do an async HttpWebRequest (with no wait) from within an ASP.NET web application or is it always converted to a synchronous request?
I'm trying to create a simple portfolio page. I have a list of thumbs and an image. When you click on a thumb, the image will change.
When a thumbnail is clicked, I'd like to have the image fade out, wait until the image is loaded, then fade back in. The problem I have right now is that some of the images are pretty big, so it fades out, then fades back in immediately, sometimes while the image is still loading.
I'd like to avoid using setTimeout, since sometimes an image will load faster or slower than the time I set.
Here's my code:
$(function() {
$('img#image').attr("src", $('ul#thumbs li:first img').attr("src"));
$('ul#thumbs li img').click(function() {
$('img#image').fadeOut(700);

I'm calling a web service called GetTooltip from inside Javascript. However, since the web service is called asynchronously, it doesn't wait until I get the return value from the web service, before it continues again. This is a bit of a problem for me, since the web service is in a for-loop. How do I make the Javascript wait until I hear back from the web service, before letting Javascript continue the for-loop?

The first user of my site per day (or if nobody has used the site for awhile) gets a pretty long wait to bring up login.aspx. Subsequent users, site comes up immediately.
I understand this is an IIS setting to save resources. (I'm on IIS6). What is the community doing about this problem? I've read about writing programs to keep the site alive by hitting it every 20 min, but there must be a better way. One of my project is for a small business to provide order information for their customers -- gets used every day but not that many times per day.
Is this the reason most developers will have the first page as index.html then you click to login from there while it says "please wait for login" or similar?
