RadProgressArea Question

[burton]

Hi. Here's my scenario:

One RadProgressArea and one RadProgressManager and one button on my aspx page. I want to monitor the call to my simple web service and display time until process is complete.

Here is C# code behind for button onClick event:

public partial class IISProcess : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            RadProgressArea1.Localization.UploadedFiles = "Completed Steps: ";
            RadProgressArea1.Localization.CurrentFileName = "Step: ";
            RadProgressArea1.Localization.TotalFiles = "Total Steps: ";
        }
    }
   
    protected void myProgressButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        UpdateProgressContext();
    }

    private void UpdateProgressContext()
    {
        RadProgressContext progress = RadProgressContext.Current;
        IIS_1 IISWebService = new IIS_1();
        string theOrder = "0038240";
        IISWebService.GetOrdersFromIIS(theOrder);       
    }
}

My question is how can I monitor my web service process via the RadProgressArea control ???? What is missing in my code?

Thank You in advance.

I'm not sure if you've seen this forum thread, yet, but it should prove very helpful here. At the bottom of the thread, there is a  "MonitoringCustomProgress.zip" sample project attached.

Progress Bar Without Uploading A File

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Hi,

You can update the RadProgressArea from the web service the same way as shown here. I've also attached a small sample project demonstrating the approach. 

Please note that you still have to manually update the ProgressContext. There is no way for it to know how far along the function execution is on it's own.
