Progress Monitor on page loading

[aehlert]

I haven't been able to get this to work.

I have a webpage, that when loading, I would like to display the progress monitor for.

The guts of the page load are:

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!Page.IsPostBack)
        {
            RadProgressArea.Localization.UploadedFiles = "Directories Processed: ";
            RadProgressArea.Localization.CurrentFileName = "Current Directory: ";
            RadProgressArea.Localization.TotalFiles = "Directories Found: ";
            RadProgressArea.Localization.TransferSpeed = "Files Processes: ";

            if (Request["websiteMasterID"] == string.Empty)
                Response.Redirect("~/SessionTimeOut.aspx", true);
            else
            {
                try
                {
                    _websiteMasterID = int.Parse(Request["websiteMasterID"]);
                    CrawlWebsite(_websiteMasterID);
                }
                catch (Exception _ex)
                {
                    Response.Redirect("~/SessionTimeOut.aspx", true);
                }
            }
        }
    }
    private void CrawlWebsite(int _websiteMasterID)
    {
            //stuff
    }


Basically, when the page is called it grabs the webisite ID from the query string and then processes the files for that website.  While this is going on, I would like the progress information to be displayed.

I have this working if I click on a link on the page, and it does the post back.  Then I can see the progress information, so the progress bar is working.

However, when i try to do it on the page_load, then the previous screen stayes in the browser;  You see that the page is doing something because of the disc activity; then it loads the rest of the page information.  It doesn't show the progress.

Any suggestions?

The progress area cannot be shown on initial page load. It can be displayed after a postback only.
