Hi,
I have a ASP.Net webforms application that needs two types of popup status windows, similar to the "new mail" popup shown in the lower right-corner of the screen when using OWA.
The first type is a notification to all currently logged in users indicating that a server process has completed.
The second is a spinning circle or other work-in-progress notification for a specific user who initiates a process that may take some time to complete.
Questions/Issues:
1. The first type of message needs to be sent to all users who currently have open sessions - would need to figure out how to do that.
2. When the user dismisses the message (or the popup display times out), a refresh should be requested to display the latest list.
3. The second type of popup would need to be programmatically dismissable when the response is received by the client.
4. Are there any code samples around to do this sort of thing that I could plagerize and adapt?
