How to show spinner image while retrieving data

Jun 14, 2011 09:35 PM|LINK

Hello,

I'm trying to modify my code below and remove the button completely and have its function happen automatically when the page loads. Is there a way to do this or do I need to look at AJAX?

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Toolbar.aspx.cs" Inherits="Toolbar" %>

            var img = document.getElementById(ctrl);
            img.src = imgsrc;
        }
        function Loading(b) {
            if (b == true) {
                document.getElementById("<%=ibSpinning.ClientID%>").style.visibility = "visible";
            }
            else {
                document.getElementById("<%=ibSpinning.ClientID%>").style.visibility = "hidden";

I am not 100% sure that I am following you but you may want to look at update progress

Hi,

You could do that as follow:

1. Create a user control:

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="ucloading.ascx.cs" Inherits="ajax_load_ucloading" %>
<%@ Register Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" TagPrefix="asp" %>
<asp:Panel ID="pnlProgress" runat="server" CssClass="modalpopup">
    <div class="popupcontainerLoading">
        <div class="popupbody">
            <table width="100%">
                <tr>
                    <td align="center">
                        <asp:Image ID="imgProgress" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/images/ajax_loader.gif"/>
                    </td>
                    <td valign="middle">
                        <asp:Label ID="lblLoading" runat="server" Text='please wait'
                            Font-Bold="true"></asp:Label>
                    </td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        </div>
    </div>
</asp:Panel>
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton5" runat="server" Text=""></asp:LinkButton>
<asp:ModalPopupExtender ID="mpeProgress" runat="server" TargetControlID="LinkButton5"
    X="500" Y="0" PopupControlID="pnlProgress" BackgroundCssClass="modalBackground">
</asp:ModalPopupExtender>

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

public partial class ajax_load_Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

    }

    protected void Button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000);
    }
}

2. Include the usercontrol where you want to show spinner image

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="ajax_load_Default" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" TagPrefix="asp" %>

<%@ Register TagPrefix="uc1" TagName="ajax_load" Src="~/ajax load/ucloading.ascx" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
    <style type="text/css">
        .modalBackground
        {
            background-color: Gray;
            filter: alpha(opacity=70);
            opacity: 0.7;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:ToolkitScriptManager ID="ToolkitScriptManager1" runat="server">
        </asp:ToolkitScriptManager>        
        <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" UpdateMode="Conditional" runat="server">
            <ContentTemplate>
                <%=DateTime.Now.ToString() %>
                <br />
                <asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="Refresh Panel" OnClick="Button_Click" />
                <br />
                <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
            </ContentTemplate>
        </asp:UpdatePanel>
        <asp:UpdateProgress ID="UpdateProgress1" runat="server" AssociatedUpdatePanelID="UpdatePanel1">
            <ProgressTemplate>
                <uc1:ajax_load id="ajax_load1" runat="server">
                </uc1:ajax_load>                
            </ProgressTemplate>
        </asp:UpdateProgress>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

public partial class ajax_load_Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

    }

    protected void Button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000);
    }
}
