I have a page which displays the following content when it is loaded:
<div>
<img src="loading.gif" alt="Loading" /> Generating PDF Document, please wait.
<div>
At the same time, I want to run this method the code behind automatically:
private void GeneratePdf()
{
...
}
Lastly, I want to redirect the user to the File.pdf path once the GeneratePdf() method is completed.
How do I do this?

Page_Loadevent as explained here. Additionally, this is a great explanation of the page life cycle. You should take a look at it. Here is some sample code from the above link:Hope this helps you!
