Threads in ASP.NET page

[Nikolay Petrov]

Can I use threads ih ASP.NET page?
I one to run a long operation in separate thread and from it to update
a control in aps page to display status information.
Is this possible?
My first guess is not, but worth asking.

TIA

Well you can use threads in ASP.NET

But i only see usage for them in Global classes , for instance i made
once a online catalogue ( www.tireponline.de )
that should send a file through FTP to another website if the user presses a
button to trigger this action , so i do these ftp sessions in a background
thread

the status can be read through a client side javascript that does a postback
after a predifined time to the status page

hope this helps
