send emailing list

[Stanley Cheung]

Hi all,

I am developing the application for send emailing list,
actually, i can perform to send a email 1 by 1 and do it on aspx page.

I have a enquiry that how can the application change to background task
instead of user need to wait and wait until all email sent.
Also, when user waiting to complete the emailing list, the page is blank and
nothing, can we put a layout when user waiting a request.

Thanks.

Re: send emailing list

Once page is loaded all the html is in the page so without postback, I do
not think it's easily possible. I have seen tricks where people guess at
time and run gif's or use javascripts but all of these approaches are just
guesses as to when it's really done. With multiple postbacks you could do
it, but many think that calling postback through code is big no no and
certianly it would cause strange user experience. Perhaps using ajax you
could get what you need.

As far as sending off the process though- you can do that using Async
delegate for instance but the page will be loaded already. So the process
will work and fire the emails, but the page will be loaded To that end I'm
afriad I can't be of much help.
