Asynchronous call from ASP.NET Page

[Guest]

I am trying to make a call to a method from an ASPX page that takes a few
minutes to complete. During this time I would like the page to wait (show
gears turning like Sharepoint)... upon completion of the method call the
user will be redirected. Can someone provide guidance on how to do this?

Perhaps some of the following will help you:
