problem in showing progress while downloading

[phpfreak2007]

Hi all

I tried to display an gif image while my file is downloading from server..But as downloading started, animation in gif is stopped...I tried to use thread also but then too its not working..

Please help me to solve this.

I had similar issue some time ago. I made a new window with picture box and a timer which was triggered every 1/4 sec. This would refresh the form with a new image [so i was animating it]. I started this form in a new thread - worked like a charm!

Shouldn't the client browser have it's own download progress thinger?

hi alag20

Thanks for reply.. I tried your way also.. but now problem is its showing new form but not animation I am sending you code..please let me know If I am doing any mistake..

// initialization

  flag=true;
  Thread thrd = new Thread(new ThreadStart(animation));
  thrd.Start();
  //coding for download 
  flag=false;

//animation method
public void animation
{
          while (flag)
            {
               // new widows form with picturebox
                frm.Show();
            }
}



//code for timer in new window with picture box


private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
            if (i == imageList1.Images.Count)
            {
                i = 0;
            }
            pictureBox1.Image = imageList1.Images[i];
             i++;
}
