When the user clicks on a link to generate report I make an AJAX

  • 0

When the user clicks on a link to generate report I make an AJAX call which generates a pdf file in the background.Now the files are huge running upto 10mb or more.So it takes some time.In the mean time the user should be able to navigate other links as if nothing has happened.So I need to implement in such a way that the pdf generation process gets started & user doesn’t have to wait for the process to finish.Is this possible?I am using AJAX Pro with c# with dot net framework 2.0

The problem here is that as soon as the AJAX activity begins the browser enters into a hung stage & the user has to wait although he clicks on a different link.

    I would probably create a ‘queue’ or an ‘inbox’ for the user …

    start your pdf generation routine with a ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem (you would also need to modify your generation method to output to their inbox)

    then on each http request check that inbox and notify the user of the item … you can always poll the server on an interval or somthing
