Ajax Question

I know this might not be the place to ask this, but in all honesty, this is my favorite development message board.

 

I have a FTP component that has an event that fires during uploading or downloading a file using the FTP component.

 

I would like to somehow send a response back to the client every time this "Server Side" event is fired. Therefore the client can update the progress bar.

 

I am lost here. Every code example that I see, I just get more lost.

 

Can anyone please give me some suggestions or code samples on how I can update a webpage during the time a server side event is firing.

Code Samples anyone???

Thanks

Only client can call the server. You can query the server periodically to get its status, and you can update your progress bar

So you are saying I would have to do something like this.

Session("Percentage") = e.PercentDone

End Sub

Public Function PercentageDone() As String
      Return Ctype(Session("Percentage"), String)
End Function

Then on the client side, use a timer to call my PercentageDone method every second to see the value?

Is that the way you would do this?

Thanks for suggestions.

Yes, I think this solution should work. :-)
