Question

Im using an UpdatePanel with a timer and when the timer fires I get a animated .gif from webresource.axd that never goes away so I end up with multiplying .gif’s. How do I disable this animation?

You can add a custom message you your UpdatePanel like that:

<asp:UpdateProgress ID="updProcess" 
       runat="server" AssociatedUpdatePanelID="YourProblematicPanelD">
    <ProgressTemplate>
            Left it emtpy, or type something here
    </ProgressTemplate>
</asp:UpdateProgress>

This UpdateProgress can be outside the Panel.

Anyway as I say there is no default wait icon for the update panel, search to find how they add it in your page
