Loading image while waiting for web service to deliver image

Hi,

We have share information charts that we get via a third party web service. My problem is that the charts take a while to be created. What I would like to do is have a loading gif while I'm waiting for the image to download.

I am very new to Ajax (just downloaded the bits and pieces to plug into VS2005 this morning), so if anyone could point me in the direction of some script I'd be very thankful.

Thanks

Emilio

Place your charts in an UpdatePanel. Place your loading gif in an UpdateProgress control and associate the two.

Hi,

Thank you for your post!

It seems that you are really a newbie to AJAX,this is a good start point for your learning:ASP.NET AJAX Roadmap

And in my opinion, <ASP.NET AJAX in action> is a decent book to learn ASP.NET AJAX.

If you have further questions ,let me know.

Best Regards,
