Visual Studio .NET - StatusBar in ASP net

Hi All,

I have a business requirement to show status bar in my application.
My routine loops thru list of customerids and generates pdf file for each 
customerid. So when a pdf file is genereated for a customer, then my
statusbar should show as
either
Customer: Hilton Computers processed

or
2 out of 500 is processed.
when 3rd file processing in code behind is over, then statusbar shoudl show this.
3 out of 500 processed
4 out of 500 processed.................... & on

So that user knows that, till that customer, files are processed as 2 are processed out of 500.

I see progress bar like loading page etc but not exact status of process.

I appreciate your help.

Thanks,
PK

Well...What you can do is:
Create Status bar and then in your routine after creating each pdf file 
update the status bar text, to display appropriate info.

Hi,

Thanks for your info. How can I create status bar in asp.net C#. In windows forms they have status bar and not in asp.net. When I looked into the link, you provided, that is for datagrid control. If you don't mind, can you explain elaborately how to create status bar and even if I update status bar text, without refreshing the page I need update to be shown to user.

I appreciate your help.


Thanks,
PK
