FN-FORUM: DoEvents? Not likely

date posted 27th March 2003 15:29

Hi guys,

I'm trying to pass a message to a aspx page to tell the user that the server
is busy, but the server is so busy the message never appears. This was the
sort of thing you fix do with DoEvents in VB6 and Application.DoEvents in a
windows form...

But how does one achieve this in a UI.Web.Page class (the Page.Application
object having no DoEvents, rRfresh or similar)...

Basically:

Do while objFile.Exists(sLockfile)
lblMessage.Text = "Waiting for " & n.ToString & " cycles..."
>
Loop

Another process creates and deletes the lock file and I can't touch that
system at all, just piggy-back on to it - it's a political thing...
