Loading Data Message

[Guest]

Is there a way to display a message using an aspx page with controls on it that the data is loading for the page without having to display one html page then reloading the aspx page. in other words display a message on the aspx page before all the controls are loaded and the data, then display the controls with the data all in one aspx page?

or if there is another way to do this, please how...

thanks

No, there's really no way to do this.

When your data is loading, it's loading on the server. When the data are
through loading, the server emits the completed HTML. In the meantime, your
user is sitting there looking at the previous page.

The only way for this to work is for the previous page to say "data loading"
and the new page to show your data.
