i have several pages which takes longer time to load when user clicks on a button,and that becuase of database access and the so much stuff going on in background. So in order to improve user's browser's experince i want to show loading screen as soon as user clicks on button. Like loading circle etc etc. Is there any control available in Ajax that will do that? if not how do i do that?

Something like this http://www.ajaxloading.com/

you could just add the <asp:updateprogress> tag to the page, add in an image or a div which overlays most of the page.

Hi,

I once made a similar demo in another thread. You may have a try on it: http://forums.asp.net/t/1323598.aspx.

Also, some good custom controls can help too. Please refer to these ones I would like to recommend:
